INSANE! How Burkina Faso Planted 5 Million Trees in 1 Hour

Burkina Faso has done the unthinkable — mobilizing an entire nation to plant 5 million trees in just one hour. In the heart of the Sahel, where desertification threatens millions of lives, President Ibrahim Traoré is leading a historic green revolution. Dubbed the “Patriotic Hour to Green Faso,” this campaign united farmers, students, and families in a single, powerful act of ecological restoration.

But this is more than an environmental stunt—it’s a national movement. Under Traoré’s leadership, Burkina Faso has increased tree cover by 15%, restored over 800,000 hectares of land, and expanded agroforestry across 5 million hectares. From zai pits to modern dams, this is climate resilience in action.

In this video, we break down how this unprecedented tree-planting campaign is transforming Burkina Faso, saving livelihoods, and turning the tide against desertification. With inspiring footage and powerful data, you’ll see how a bold vision and united people are reshaping the future of Africa’s drylands.
