In Israel/Zionist ideology
Central to the Zionist ideology is the concept of "Making the desert bloom." We should mention desert greening's significance in Israel and in Zionism, and include examples of Israeli green initiatives, especially with Kibbutzim and Moshavim in the Negev Desert and former Negev territory. --Daviddwd (talk) 23:29, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Section on Trees
The section on trees is not cited, not to mention that trees do not necessarily store water. If the specific trees could be mentioned that would be preferable. An example of how trees do the opposite of greening is in Andrew Balmford's Wild Hope in chapter 4 p. 67 where he discusses South Africa's problem with pine trees using a vast amount of water to the point where streams are literally running dry. The addition of the trees being planted and a citation would be much appreciated.

Area in question
The opening paragraph concludes with this sentence: "It pertains to roughly 32 million square kilometres of land." Is there a citation for this figure? --A12n (talk) 20:44, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Expand scope to global greening?
I am wondering if we should expand the scope of this article and then rename it to global greening? I have also written about it on the talk page of WikiProject Climate Change. If not, we could perhaps add a section on global greening here and then redirect the "global greening" search term to that section. EMsmile (talk) 10:51, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
