So sorry to hear 😢 about the disease ,and we wish you all tge best ❤❤❤
You’re a great man. I hope someone help you to deal with the tree disease. I myself do not know that particular tree enough to help. ❤keep up the good works
African people are amazing they know so much more than u give them credit for.
This is one of the most inspiring projects I have seen. Thanks for the wonderful interview with this generous and wise man.
beautiful soil, never seen reddish soil like that
アフリカのみならず、世界で大規模な植林活動を行う時は、ショベルカーとトラクターと散水車を導入して植林活動に取り掛かるべきです‼️
Thank you, Mr. Ouédraogo. God bless you
An African old man planting trees, that's my kind of story, thanks for posting these kinds stories ❤
I would like to visit this place in future, someone with the address please?
Ya Allah Burkina Faso our Muslim Brother
Great job
Amazing
Water catchment, water reservoirs
Baobab is an amazing tree living for thousands of years so if you plant one then you might live for thousands of years.
If i ever visit Burkina i have to meet him
This man is a legend and considering the longetivity of Baobab trees, his legacy will be long lasting
🙏 He was asking for a Solution to the rotting problem.
One Reason could be MONOCULTURE, planting just One type of trees 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳.
Solution: Plant atleast 3 to 5 more types of Complementary trees With Baobabs! He is a Wise Old man; I am sure he will figure out What Complementary trees/Crops/Shrubs to plant with Baobab!
ALL THE BEST # Al Jazeera
Give o nobel to this man…
its takes one man to make difference while govt. and scientists disscuss
Help identify the disease
well done, this is exactly what will be doing on earth when the Kingdom of God [Jehovah] is finally here!!!
Masha’Allah. May Allah reward him and his family abundantly in this world and after his death. Ameen Allah.❤
So the leaves are essentially a staple crop. Quick search pulls up its similar to spinach and essentially adding to anything
100 years from now..cant imagine how beautiful it is as a forest🥰🥰
People. Just a little tip. Let us say you eat an apple. Dig out the seeds in the core and plant them. The apple trees are most likely GMO free since the trees are older. Eat fruit -harvest seeds -plant immediately! Be amazed how well this work!
Well done young man!
His work is good but why not put in a little variation like planting different kind of trees
"When everyone is running in the same direction, you have to look out for an escape route for when things go wrong.". What a Wise Sage!
Salute to this legend.
He should use pipal baba or miyawaki method for better and faster results.
He is naturally smart. I loved the part where he said other people in the village look at him as being crazy and that he just laughs at them. Another part is where he said his father and grandfather never planted any boabab trees but they all died.
Waw i fill proud of myself and for him, he is totally a hero.
Wonderful. The people who are actually really making the planet a better place are such like unsung heroes! God bless
What an inspiring story. The guy may not seem to have had that much schooling, but at least he is doing the right thing, starting with the resources that he has.
Seem ordinary person but an extraordinary human being and good person.
Leave this world better
Respekt
Problem is monoculture. You must plant diversity to create life diversity and re-balance the pests that are thriving in this monoculture style.
Don't worry, some useless and greedy money laundering organization will "ask" that you donate your money in exchange of planting trees. Obviously, they will take the money and send this man a 'thank you' via twitter.
Africa will and always will be rich, it's the people who lost this sight and sense of its value so this Man is one of the rare gems. I for one cultivates and invests on my country with my earning in foreign land and a few years now will go home and enjoy the fruits of my labor in my country.
