There have been a couple attempts to do this previously. In India, there was one version used as a physical barrier on a customs line for 450 miles. Also happened to improve the area. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inland_Customs_Line#Great_Hedge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inland_Customs_Line#Great_Hedg... https://amocarroll.com/projects/tracing-the-great-salt-hedge https://amocarroll.com/projects/tracing-the-great-salt-hedge China has the China's Three-North Shelterbelt Program where they're trying to hold back the desert in North China and Inner Mongollia. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Three-North_Shelter_Forest_Program https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Three-North_Shelt...

There's also an attempt in Africa in the Sahara that a bunch of countries signed on to. Unfortunately, their commitments have mostly amounted to talk without much funding or governmental support.

Seems to at least have some photographic evidence of money actually being spent somewhere. Senegal's an example with desert work. Seems to have evidence that at least some amount of trees are being planted with videos (harder to falsify). https://blog.ecosia.org/senegal/ https://blog.ecosia.org/senegal/ https://blog.ecosia.org/tag/senegal/ https://blog.ecosia.org/tag/senegal/
