Food insecurity has gotten worse in the Sahel as a result of land degradation brought on by unsustainable practices and climatic unpredictability. Drought-resistant tree species and soil and water conservation (SWC) methods are used in restoration projects. In this study, half-moons were shown to be the most effective SWC structure for evaluating tree growth on recovered sites. Optimal circumstances were provided by pediments, and development was further enhanced by active management. Effective SWC techniques, appropriate locations, and ongoing management for ecosystem resilience and restoration are key components of sustainable reforestation, which is based on a combination of scientific knowledge, local experience, adaptive tactics, and community involvement.
