Converting deserts into working ecosystems
John D. Liu, cameraman and
ecologist -- 1) China, the bare
Loess Plateau (Huangtu Plateau) and the
consequences with floods and sandstorms (smog)
in large cities -- 2) Jordan:
1000s of years overgrazed - fenced areas
regenerate in 3 years - extinct plants grow
again -- 3) Ethiopia (Africa):
New springs in the high plains by forested
mountains -- 4) Jordan: John D.
Liu in the guest house -- 5) Rwanda
(Africa): deforestation and field
farming on slopes provoked erosion - farmers
moved to the Rugezi Wetlands nature reserve
draining the soil and reducing the flow of the
river -- 6) Make ravaged soil fertile
- secure global food production
