The Great Green Wall will be a multi-species vegetal belt 15 km wide that will link Dakar
and Djibouti and stretch over a distance of about 7000 km. At the operational level, the
individual countries involved with the Wall must delineate a forest band 15 km wide, in
accordance with the conceptual chart of GGW alignment. This band must necessarily go
through the Sahelian zone between isohyets 100 to 400 mm.

The Great Wall will form, as much as possible, a continuous band but may be rerouted if
necessary to avoid obstacles (streams, rocky terrains, mountains and rock hills) or go through
inhabited areas.
