FIGURE 1.5: DESERTIFICATION
AFRICA’S AMBITIOUS GREEN BELT PROJECT
The 15 kilometer (9,3 mile) wide Great Green Wall project stretches over 7 775 km from
Senegal on the Atlantic to Eritrea on the Red Sea. The aim was to curb the Sahara
Desert's spread. But major challenges remain.
The change in climate and weather patterns is triggering a rapid spread of the Sahara
Desert, invading into lands and surrounding huge lakes, according to climate scientists.
Seven countries of the Sahel region, an area located just south of the Sahara, therefore
initiated a project that will see billions of trees planted across 11 countries by 2030, which
will serve as buffer zones to stop the desertification.
The African Union (AU) launched the initiative in 2007 under the name the Great Green
Wall.
The Great Green Wall is more than just an environmental project that is intended to restore
100 million hectares of fertile lands in the Sahel, and in the process cut 250 million tons of
carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It aims to create 10 million so-called green jobs.

SECTION B: GENERAL INFORMATION ON HARTBEESPOORT DAM
Coordinates: 25° 44′ 39″ S, 27° 53′ 58″ E Hartbeespoort Dam (also known as Harties) is
an arch type dam situated in the North West
Province of South Africa. It lies in a valley to
the south of the Magaliesberg mountain range
and north of the Witwatersberg mountain
range, about 35 kilometres north-west
of Johannesburg and 20 kilometres west
of Pretoria.
The dam was originally designed for irrigation,
which is currently its primary use, as well as for
domestic and industrial use.
The town consists of holiday homes and
permanent residences around the dam as it is
popular with visitors from nearby Gauteng
Province.
Hartbeespoort Aerial Cableway is the longest
monocableway in Africa.
