"Desertification is a fancy word for land that is turning to desert," begins Allan Savory in this quietly powerful talk. And terrifyingly, it's happening to about two-thirds of the world's grasslands, accelerating climate change and causing traditional grazing societies to descend into social chaos. Savory has devoted his life to stopping it. He now believes -- and his work so far shows -- that a surprising factor can protect grasslands and even reclaim degraded land that was once desert.

Watched this last week, truly awesome (not in a 'duuuuude' way). I love stuff like this, and his statement about reducing carbon to pre-industrial levels? If it is true, and I don't doubt him, governments should be throwing money at this. Makes a change to see something genuinely optimistic on the subject.
