The Sahara desert has been spreading southwards, as global warming and deforestation have been on the rise. To prevent its spread, the idea of a great green wall - a wall made of trees, rather than forests, was mooted in 2007. The trees, plants and shrubs are to help the local communities find more jobs, grow their own food and also prevent further migration out of Africa. In this episode, an eighth grader Siddhi, from Ahlcon Public School, Delhi, discusses the impact of this wall on the rest of the world as well.
