TED Talks: How To Green The World’s Deserts And Reverse Climate Change by Allan Savory
Geschreven op 4-2-2019 - Erik van Erne. Geplaatst in Natuur
“Desertification is a fancy word for land that is turning to desert,” begins Allan Savory in this quietly powerful talk.
And terrifyingly, it’s happening to about two-thirds of the world’s grasslands, accelerating climate change and causing traditional grazing societies to descend into social chaos.
Savory has devoted his life to stopping it. He now believes — and his work so far shows — that a surprising factor can protect grasslands and even reclaim degraded land that was once desert.
