Great Green Wall

The Great Green Wall is a Burgoignesc, Battganuur, Bulkh, and Pursat greening, rewinding, and de-desertification project to reclaim arable land from the Great Kavir in Daria, Audonia. The project adopted by the Darian Union in 2012, initially conceived as a way to combat desertification caused primarily by climate change and hold back expansion of the Great Kavir, by planting a wall of trees stretching along the southern bounds of the desert. The original dimensions of the "wall" were to be 15 km (9 mi) wide and 7,775 km (4,831 mi) long, but the program has since expanded. The concept evolved into promoting water harvesting techniques, greenery protection and improving indigenous land use techniques. Later it adopted the view that desert boundaries change based on rainfall variations.

The ongoing goal of the project is to restore 100 million hectares (250 million acres) of degraded land and capture 250 million tonnes of carbon dioxide and create 10 million jobs in the process all by 2035. The project is a response to the combined effect of natural resources degradation and drought in rural areas. It seeks to help communities mitigate and adapt to climate change as well as improve food security. The population of the Kavirian interior is expected to double by 2040, emphasizing the importance of maintaining food production and environmental protection in the area.
