 * Proposal**

We plan to make a pivot movie about the صَحراء (Sahara) desert.


 * Sahara expands south by about 30 miles/year
 * [|Global warming] and poor farming methods have been given as possible causes
 * One report states that all of Africa could eventually become a massive desert
 * Some 2.5 million people live in the Sahara, most of these in Egypt, [|Mauritania], [|Morocco] and [|Algeria]
 * Mediterranean plants such as the [|olive] tree are found to grow easily in deserts such as the sahara.
 * Has little or no precipitation of the course of a year(0 – 25cm).
 * A.k.a the great desert.
