dead trees in dry, desert land

We have the opportunity to bring several billion acres of desertified and depleted land back to its natural state. Increasingly understood by agriculture scientists, low-cost natural permaculture practices that replicate pre-industrial grazing and water management techniques offer us a world-changing opportunity. Once restored, these lands can even support ranching and other forms of agriculture. Biodiversity for a Livable Climate offers a large library of climate restoration research, from which this quiz was developed.
