Regeneration of the Saye pastoral area in the commune of Bassi, Burkina Faso

As part of its policy to protect and restore terrestrial ecosystems, the Agri-Food Program for Integrated Resilience and Economic Development in the Sahel, Pro-ARIDES, in Burkina Faso, is reclaiming 30 hectares of arid land using the half-moon and stone cordon technique in the Commune of Bassi in the north of the country. This area will be seeded with forage species to facilitate pastoral activity.

This video shows the half-moons containing the rainwater as they await the rest of the process.
