“One of the best, most comprehensive solutions (to drought) is land restoration, which addresses many of the underlying factors of degraded water cycles and the loss of soil fertility. We must build and rebuild our landscapes better, mimicking nature wherever possible and creating functional ecological systems.” Ibrahim Thiaw, Executive Secretary, UNCCD
