aloe vera
This is the translation for "sábila".
It seems strange that they are using aloe vera for protecting hillsides. In Venezuela, we use "agave" for protecting hillsides, not aloe vera. From a distance, both plants look somewhat similar.

...protection of hillsides with iceplant...
This succlent species is used very commonly as an anti-erosion measure. I grew up with it in the San Francisco (California) Bay Area, where it is the ground-cover of choice, especially in areas where sandy dunes are subject to being shifted by onshore winds. -- HTH, HC
