Reforestation in Niger!!!

I am not sure why the last post came out empty...very strange. This article is great "In Niger, trees and crops turn back to desert" NY Times: 2/11/07 This community planted trees to combat desertification and have shown success... It has a nice figure showing (reforestation) land use and land cover change using aerial photographs and a cool video! http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/11/world/africa/11niger.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
