Chapter 642

A long time ago, the United Nations Environment program launched a program called "billion trees action".

The main objectives of this project are to prevent desertification, plant trees and afforest, establish oases and environmental sustainable development, and mitigate the environmental problems caused by the blue star warming.

Later, the program evolved into a "million forests" tree planting program, planting millions of trees on five continents.

North Philippines has always been a serious disaster area of land desertification.

Because of the backward development of the whole region and the long-term plunder by the colonists, most countries and people live in poverty. There is basically no theory of desert governance here.

It is impossible for them to concentrate on Governance and plant trees by the whole nation, like Xia state.

So the area of the desert is growing every year and there is no way to control it.

Usually, only some small environmental protection organizations under the UNEP are doing tree planting and desertification control, and their mode is basically to hire local people to work.

Tukulti is one of the employed farmers.

The organization that hired him was called the North African youth environmental fighters alliance, and its organizer was Heba alfala, a female environmentalist awarded by the United Nations.

Tukulti had been waiting at the entrance of the village early in the morning. Today is the day when the organization sent the saplings.

Every month, the organization will send seedlings to the employed farmers to plant trees. As long as the seedlings are planted in the same month, the work will be finished.

Of course, the organization will also send people to check the effect of planting trees from time to time, because some people who like to cheat and play tricks will always secretly throw away the seedlings and white-collar wages.

Tukulti is not such a person. Although his culture is not high and he only knows hundreds of words, he is very clear about the harm of desert. Planting trees is the only way to make the desert better. Even if he doesn't give money, he is willing to do it as long as he can support his family.

After a while, the saplings came.

Tukulti stood up and waved to the car.

The car stopped and jumped out of the car. A white man and a black man were acquaintances.

The white man, Mike, is a staff member of the environmental programme. His main job is to transport and distribute saplings.

The black guy is a local, named Walid. He works for the youth environmental protection fighters League of North Africa. His main task is to communicate with local people and record the distribution of saplings.

Tukulti usually dealt with these two people, so he was very familiar with them. He said hello to each other in the local language, and then asked why they were late. Because he had been looking at the branch on the ground, the shadow of the branch was half as short as before.

"This time, the saplings were delivered many days late. We spent a whole day to hand over the seedlings yesterday and finished the work in the early morning, so we started a little late in the morning."

White Mike explained in his poor local language, and tukurti listened carefully for a while before he understood.

Walid slapped tukurti on the shoulder with a smile. "First move the saplings down. We're going to the next village."

"OK."

Tukulti began to work without saying a word.

The car was filled with dense saplings, bundles by bundles, as before.

But to tukulti's surprise, the saplings seemed a little different from the ones before, so he asked directly, "Why are these saplings different from those of the last two months?"

Mike replied, "the last batch of saplings has been used up. This is a new one."

Tukurti frowned a little disappointed and said to Mike, "why not use the last sapling? Those seedlings are very good. They can grow after planting. They are better than other saplings. I like to plant those seedlings

Tukurti's words are a little fast, Mike can't understand, can only rely on Walid translation.

When he understood what tukurti meant, he picked up a bunch of saplings, looked at them, and said with a little doubt: "how do I think these saplings grow bigger and should be better Well, why do you all say that the previous batch of saplings is good? "

"It's not about growing up, it's about whether you can grow or not."

Tukul explained with his hands and feet: "in the past, we planted trees. If we didn't water the seedlings for a few days, half of them would die. When the sandstorm came, let alone the seedlings just planted could not survive. But the saplings of the last two months are very good. The young trees can live if they are planted. It doesn't matter if they are watered less. Moreover, when the sandstorm comes, they are not afraid to survive, so they can plant trees quickly. "

Walid quickly translated tukulti's words to Mike, and then asked, "Mike, where did those saplings come from before? Now that 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 flow all the year round, and the climate environment is very bad. Therefore, there is no hope for the successful governance at present.At present, the consensus reached by the United Nations environmental program and various environmental protection organizations is basically to make efforts to effectively control the expansion of the Salala desert through scientific governance, so as to improve the environment around the desert.

They are planting trees around the Salala desert, saying that they have achieved little in recent years.

The reason is very simple, because of the bad environment and climate, the serious lack of water resources, the seedlings planted are difficult to survive, so their efforts are often useless.

Moreover, the seedlings need to be maintained for a long time after they are alive.

For them, maintenance means hiring more people and spending more money.

These will be heavy burdens. For environmental protection organizations like them, such burdens will even directly crush their finances, so it is not easy.

Before that, he had already passed through several villages along the way. The farmers in those villages, like tukurti, praised the former saplings and hoped that they could continue to use the former ones.

This made Mike realize that the kind of sapling before was really different, and he had to respond up and explain the situation later.

Of course, as a staff member of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), he has also heard about the bribery of the purchasing Commissioner, which seems to have something to do with it this time.

This makes him feel a little helpless. He is just a low-level employee, and there are many things that he can't make decisions.

However, he is ready to report this matter to the superior immediately after he goes back. If not, he will write an e-mail to report to the superior. In short, he should respond to this matter and let the superior get the useful saplings as soon as possible www.novelhold.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
