Quiz Land

[Antonio Brittenham]

Morethan 2 billion hectares of land are degraded, affecting billions of people and threatening over half of global gross domestic product (GDP). As we approach the halfway mark of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, governments, civil society and the private sector must act urgently to protect and revive ecosystems. Restoration improves livelihoods, lowers poverty, builds resilience to extreme weather and slows the triple planetary crisis of climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, and pollution and waste.

We believe every act of self-care should bring unexpected joy and expression. Touchland is a destination for those who want to disrupt and elevate the everyday and live life sensorily, curiously, passionately, and fearlessly, but not recklessly.

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.

The European Environment Agency studied the difference in water retention in soils that are covered with 10 percent forest and 30 percent forest foliage. More forest provides better water retention, which allows other plants to grow, as well as for livestock to graze without damaging the land.
