The Nigeria Society of Engineers (NSE) has begun attempting to slow sand encroachment form the Sahara in order to prevent, about 350,000 hectares of land being lost to desert encroachment. The NSE are looking at what will help slow the encroachment alongide the existing technology of plating trees like the Neem and Eucalyptus. It will be a private sector funded project with huge economic and environmental prospects.
This fits in with section 3 of the course as it is how development can provide opportunities.
