All the desert areas are regions of opportunity - starting at their edges. Bill Mollison told me that a long time ago in a book, and in a different life. Thanks.

[@charisseellsworth1310]

Yes, I wish iwere st least 20 years younger because I would green a desert area from scratch myself. These videos are so inspiring. I didn't know it was possible, back in those other lives..

I was born to do this! If you want some help! I would love to help collect acorns. I have been growing an evergreen oak from Arizona for street trees here in Portland Oregon.

[@mihaelapopescu4213]

We say to those visiting us here in rural Romania where we planted thousands of shrubs and trees on our land and deforested hills around that the real transformation of human kind would start when most of us will do amaizing things for common good, not only passively admiring the minority, ❤

[@koltoncrane3099]

Mihaela The problem is some people can’t do things for the good of all. If you live in western U.S. 25% of all land in the U.S. is owned by the government. Most of the west is owned by the government. It’s why desertification happens and deserts grow cause environmentalists and laws literally forbid you from doing anything. It’s even illegal to go metal detecting for gold nuggets. Recreation areas only allows for riding a wheeler or truck on the county road. Most areas are entirely shut down depending where ya live.

Another thing that Gabriel Howearth told me about starting Buena Fortuna was that they planted lots of ground cover. Also they went it eh caves to get bat guano, an excellent nutrient for soil. Hope that helps. A special hats off to Kitzia who has restored and expanded the property. Not an easy job!

Kitzia creates beauty as well as functional and edible landscapes wherever she goes. She blessed Ecuador with her incredible gits and wisdom several years ago. She is also a great teacher. What an important and inspiring project she and her team have created. May this example expand to many areas around the world to reforest and regenerate the earth´s botanical heritage. Many blessings.

[@Scp716creativecommons]

I was gifted a chance to save a baby crow, last year, by a hot stretch of days. Thought it a robin then, because they were the only things I'd seen nest on the property. Between the apartment being small, and full of my family (my womans a saint, we took in my eldest brother, and ma... several years ago) Etta, the crow, definitely didn't think it a perfect home, but she (a guess, we always just called used lady words, nvr blood tested) didn't go far either. Got adopted by the local crows in the fall, once she could fly. The first thing to happen was a hawk tried to get the awkward little wings, which was terrifying, and the other crows, who had watched her grow, mobbed the hawk off. She will come sit in the yard, and we have a large local group now, i think she told the rest about penuts in the shell, so they're staying closer, and even crows i don't know give me the "FOOD" yell now, haha. She wont come NEAR the door though. "Human caves? Never again!" Good bird. Every resource i tried to find, at the time, said "0.000321% chance of a successful release. Don't ever do it, just let it die, or take to proper care" It wasn't even that difficult, granted with family on hand to assist when away at work, and VERY messy, but a good learning experience, if we ever needed to help another small bird, and a plethora of soul growth from watching things like "baby crow discovers music". She used to pluck the cage, play it with a pick, literally BUILT a drum kit out of different sounding materials, and would try to get anyone who made sounds with her to come do it again. Jam bands are cool, but jamming with a baby crow, while it's discovering sound, id not trade that memory for anything. Sorry, random memory lane wandering, watching dude lounge with his buddy the bandit, makes me miss Etta being indoors. Great lakes, suburbia, so i made sure she's not super friendly, think every hands for sitting on, id catch her during practice flights in the stairwell, she knows how quick people can be. In a quieter place, like baja, I'd have wanted to encourage her gregariousness, here it was better not to

It would be great if they had de-salination machines for the ocean water so they could water all their plants more...i think all governments should implement these machines all over the world, because the ocean has so much water, (assuming they work ok)...And then all the deserts in the world could possibly grow back, which would balance out the climate, hopefully...And they also could use de-salination to replenish the underground aquifers, which seems very important, otherwise land sinks, but there would also need to be some purification filters too....🌺
