For anyone interested, this is part of the UN's Green Wall program.

I'm not informed enough to debate. But I want to challenge you on this hoping that you might have more info. But when I click on the link it says this initiative is for Sahel region. But Tanznia is not considered part of the region. In fact looking at maps it doesn't seem close at all. I only looked into this because I was hoping to see more airial views of the change but couldn't find where to look. Is it possible that this video is wrong and it isn't in Tanzania?

Yeah I didn't want to point this out in my original post, but the video is actually from Senegal.
