But that is exactly what the Saudi royal family wants to change. Within a few years, the country is to be transformed into a place with huge forests and green oases, and the desert will be driven away bit by bit. With its "Saudi Green Initiative", the government has formulated a goal that represents nothing less than an ecological revolution: the greening of millions of hectares of desert. To this end, over 30 percent of Saudi Arabia's area is to be converted into nature reserves, 10 billion trees planted and 40 million hectares of degraded land restored. The cities of Mecca and Medina are to become green centers within the new forests. A truly mammoth project, but one that is to be largely implemented by 2030. But how does a country in which water is an extremely scarce resource intend to implement such a project? What technologies and methods are used? And above all: is it really possible to simply transform the endless desert of Saudi Arabia into tropical forests? We'll look at all of these questions in today's video! Have fun!
