The final update from Al Baydha Project Co-founder Neal Spackman, 9 years in. How desertification resulted from the loss of an indigenous land management system, and how the land has changed since all inputs to the project were ceased in 2016. Neal moved on from Al Baydha in 2018 and can now be contacted at https://regenerativeresources.co The species that worked the best for us were Ziziphus Spinachristi, Moringa Peregrina, commiphora gileadensis, prosopis spp (though this one we likely won't continue planting in the future), and the local acacias.
This nine-year Al Baydha Project update details the restoration of a Saudi Arabian desert landscape. The co-founder documents the reversal of desertification, using low-tech methods. Observe the evolution of the land, showcasing innovative techniques in a hyper-arid climate.
