A nursery was set up at the Centre de Recherche Zootechnique in Dahra to raise seedlings for planting. The species selected had been identified as disappeared or threatened with extinction during the consultation workshops held with the local communities. These include Acacia senegal (gum tree), Adansonia digitata (baobab), Balanites aegyptiaca (soump), Moringa oleifera (nebeday) and Ziziphus mauritiana (jujube). More than 21,000 seedlings were raised in the nursery until July before being transplanted to the restoration sites in Nakara (Younoufere), Soukourou (Vélingara Ferlo) and Labgar in mid-August.
