2021-07-02 09:22:53 THE GREAT GREEN WALL

The Great Green Wall is an African-led movement with an epic ambition to grow an 8,000km natural wonder of the world across the entire width of Africa to combat the increasing desertification.

The Wall promises to be a compelling solution to the many urgent threats not only facing the African Continent, but the global community as a whole – notably climate change, drought, famine, conflict and migration.

Once complete, the Great Green Wall will be the largest living structure on the planet, 3 times the size of the Great Barrier Reef.

2021-06-30 06:59:10 Tyrrhenian Sea

The Tyrrhenian Sea is part of the Mediterranean Sea, located off of the western coast of Italy.

It’s bordered in the west by Corsica and Sardinia, in the north by the Isle of Elba, and in the
south by Sicily.

The southwestern boundaries are an estimate at best, as it depends on where the sea actually
ends.

In addition to Corsica, Elba, Sardinia and Sicily, it contains many popular small islands, including Capri, Elba and Ustica, and the active volcano of Stomboli. Cagliari, Civitavecchia, Naples and
Palermo are its chief ports.
