The Great Green Wall stretches 8,000 km across Africa’s entire width — from the Atlantic coast to the Red Sea, a green belt long enough to cross the United States twice

Nearly two decades in, only a fraction has actually taken root, and the project has quietly redefined what a wall of trees can be. Read more

Decades-Old Bash Tricks Expose AI Coding Agents To Supply Chain Attacks
