Dryland regeneration has captured imaginations for decades, embodied most visibly by the vast afforestation programs of China’s Three-North Shelterbelt and Africa’s Great Green Wall. The challenge now is to look beyond these initiatives – to recognize what has been achieved, but also to identify the missing links that prevent promising initiatives from becoming truly sustainable.

According to a report from Brazil’s Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, in 2022, 62% of all land at risk of desertification in the country lies in areas once covered by the Caatinga – Brazil’s only exclusive biome.

Invest in scalable dryland restoration to combat desertification, boost ecosystem resilience, and generate sustainable social and economic impact worldwide.
