This is an amazing video.

The eco-system seems fragile - easily destroyed by over grazing, or even simply from tourists or visitors

Also labour intensive - he mentions 100 labourers x multiple years.

So these projects would need government regulation and protection.

Sure it's labour intensive to adjust the topography but once it is done it shouldn't need continuous maintenance, as shown in the end of the clip. I also suspect that the fragility is due to it being so newly established. If the foliage is allowed to become dense and put down proper roots over time it should become more robust.
