Desert or Rainforest, with Walter Jehne - Trailer

This video features a truly remarkable project that provides a pathway for restoring ecosystems and cooling our climate. Do we want to create desert or rainforest? It sounds too simple to be true, but the choice truly is ours to make. Even during the extreme heat and horrific bushfires of 2020 in Australia, this project provided a refuge of cooler temperatures, humidity, and productivity. What’s so remarkable about this project is that it wasn’t previously a rainforest. This rainforest was by choice, carefully co-created by humans.

This project, led by Walter Jehne, shows how humans can be a positive force in increasing planetary health and the stability of our climate. Forests cool our climate and generate more consistent rain. We can create forests, even in dry, hot, and arid landscapes, by working with water and soil conservation. Most places on earth receive enough rain for something like this to be possible, it is just a matter of how many times each raindrop is cycled by the ecosystem before it leaves. Through decentralized water retention, reforestation, revegetation, agroforestry, syntropic agriculture, regenerative agriculture, cover cropping, permaculture, and water and soil conservation - we can make these changes on our landscape for a more abundant and prosperous future.
