A long time ago, the United Nations Environment Program launched a plan called the "Billion Tree Action".
The main goal of this plan is to prevent desertification, plant trees and green trees, establish oases and environmentally sustainable development, and mitigate the environmental problems caused by the warming of Blue Star.
Later, this plan evolved and became the "Million Forest" tree planting plan, planting millions of trees on five continents around the world.
The Northern Philippines has always been an area hardest hit by desertification.
Because the entire region is underdeveloped and has been plundered by colonists for many years, most countries and people live in poverty. There is basically no desert management here.
They cannot be like the Xia State, where they can use the power of a country to centralize governance and plant trees among all the people.
Therefore, the area of ????the desert is getting larger every year, and there is absolutely no way to control it.
Normally, only some small environmental protection organizations under the Environmental Planning Department are doing tree planting and desertification control, and their model is basically to spend money to hire local people to work.
??Tukurti is one of the hired farmers.
The organization that hired him is called the North African Youth Environmental Fighters Alliance, and their organizer is Heba Alfalla, a female environmental activist who has been awarded by the United Nations.
Tukurti was waiting at the entrance of the village early in the morning. Today is the day when the organization delivers saplings.
The organization regularly sends saplings to hired farmers every month, asking them to plant trees. As long as the saplings are planted in that month, the work is considered completed.
Of course, the organization will send people from time to time to check the effect of planting trees, because some people who like to be sneaky will always secretly throw away the saplings and spend their white-collar wages.
Tukulti is not such a person. Although he is not highly educated and can only read a few hundred words, he is very aware of the dangers of the desert. Planting trees is the only way to make the desert better. Even if he does not give money, he I am willing to do it as long as I can support my family.
After waiting for a while, the saplings were delivered.
Tukurti stood up and waved towards the car.
The car stopped and a white man and a black man jumped out of the car. They were both acquaintances.
The white man¡¯s name is Mike and he is an employee of the Environmental Planning Department. His main job is to transport saplings and distribute them.
The black guy is a local named Walid, who works for the North African Youth Environmental Fighters Alliance. His main task is to communicate with local people and record the distribution of saplings.
Tukurti usually dealt with these two people, so he was already familiar with them. He greeted them in the local language first, and then asked them why they were late, because he had been looking at the branch stuck on the ground to count the time. , the shadow of the branch has been shortened by half.
"This time the saplings were delivered many days late. We spent a whole day yesterday delivering them and finishing them in the early morning, so we were a little late in the morning."
The white man Mike explained in his broken local language, and Tukulti listened carefully for a while before he understood.
Walid smiled and patted Tukurti on the shoulder: "Let's move the saplings down first, we have to rush to the next village."
"OK."
Tukurti started working without saying a word.
The car was filled with densely packed saplings, bundled in bundles, just like before.
But what made Tukurti a little strange was that these saplings seemed a little different from the ones before, so he asked directly: "Why are these saplings different from the ones in the last two months?"
Mike replied: "The last batch of saplings has been used up, these are new saplings."
Tukurti frowned a little disappointed and said to Mike: "Why not use the saplings from last time? Those saplings are very good and they can grow as soon as you plant them. They are better than other saplings. I like to plant saplings like that."
Tukurti spoke a bit fast, and Mike couldn¡¯t quite understand it, so he had to rely on Walid to translate.
After he figured out what Tukurti meant, he picked up a bundle of saplings, looked at them, and said with some confusion: "Why do I think these saplings are bigger and should be better Well, why are you all talking about the previous ones?" Is that batch of saplings good?"
"It's not a matter of whether it grows big or not, it's a matter of whether it can survive after planting."
Tukurti explained with all his hands and feet: "In the past, when we planted trees, half of the saplings would die if they were not watered for a few days. Not to mention when the wind and sand came, the newly planted saplings would not survive at all. But. The saplings that are still two months old are very good.??Saplings can survive as soon as they are planted. It doesn't matter if they are watered a little less. Moreover, they are not afraid of wind and sand. Many of them survive, so planting trees is faster. "
Walid quickly translated Tukurti¡¯s words to Mike, and then asked one more question: ¡°Mike, where did those saplings come from? Since the farmers have agreed, why not continue to use those saplings?¡±
Mike was silent.
The Salala Desert is the largest desert in the world. It is controlled by strong subtropical air currents all year round, and the climate environment is very harsh. Therefore, there is currently no hope for successful treatment.
The current consensus reached by the United Nations Environment Program and various environmental protection organizations is basically to work hard to effectively control the continued expansion of the Salala Desert through scientific governance and improve the environment around the desert. That is all.
They have been planting trees around the Salala Desert, but to be honest, they have achieved little success over the years.
The reason is very simple. Due to the harsh environment and climate, and the serious lack of water resources, it is difficult for the saplings planted to survive, making their efforts often in vain.
Moreover, after the saplings are planted, they also require maintenance for a long period of time.
For them, maintenance means hiring more people and spending more money.
These will be a heavy burden for environmental organizations like them. Such a burden will even directly crush their finances, so it is not easy.
Before, I had passed through several villages along the way to deliver saplings. The farmers in those villages, like Tukurti, praised the saplings before and hoped to continue to use the saplings before.
This made Mike realize that the sapling from before was really different. Looking back, he had to react upward to explain the situation.
Of course, as an employee of the United Nations Environment Programme, he has also heard about the recent rumors about the bribery of the purchaser. It seems that the replacement of saplings this time is related to it.
This makes him feel a little helpless. He is just a low-level employee, and there are many things that he cannot decide.
But no matter what, he planned to report the matter to his superiors as soon as he returned. If that didn't work, he would write an e-mail to skip the report. In short, he wanted to report this matter to the superiors and let the superiors get the useful saplings as soon as possible ( Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
