🌵Did you know yesterday was #DesertificationandDroughtDay?

Businesses can play an essential role in protecting and restoring land, as laid out in the UNCCD’s Business for Land Guide, which cites SBTN’s science-based targets for nature approach.

📖 Access the guide: www.unccd.int/resources/ma...

🌱 It’s not too late to join the #DesertificationAndDroughtDay celebrations!

🎥 Watch now: "Restore the land. Unlock the opportunities."

At #SOILRES, we’re working to reverse the loss of healthy land through soil health practices & sustainable farming.

Land restoration is not happening at the speed and scale we need, despite the clear investment case.

This #DesertificationAndDroughtDay, see how we’re working to change this.

Now is the time for ambition and action for people and planet.

Greening the Mexican Desert - UNDP Nature In the parched communities of the Mixteca region’s desert fringe, along the Western border of Mexico’s Oaxaca state, the wait for the rainy season feels interminable. The realization that rains are becoming scarcer and less reliable is particularly sobering at the end of spring, a critical time in this region: it is not only the hottest, but also the driest time of year, marking the end of the long dry season, as most rains in Oaxaca come during the summer.

Over 1,000 native trees planted 🌳

275 structures built to retain water 💧

One goal: revive a desertifying ecosystem.

Even mined-out land can come back to life if we listen, collaborate, and dare to reimagine restoration. On #DesertificationAndDroughtDay, I’m reminded: renewal is possible, even in unexpected places.
We can restore what's seemingly forgotten, together.

TODAY is #DesertificationAndDroughtDay! What do you see when you look at the land?

For us, it's hope. It's the power to #RestoreTheLand and #UnlockOpportunities.

This powerful video voiced over by our Land Hero Billie Dumaliang shows why investing in healthy land makes economic and human sense 🌱

🌱 This World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought, we’re highlighting how healthy land supports food, water, and climate resilience.

Restore the land. Unlock the opportunities.
Let’s teach, learn, and act to protect it.

Each year, we lose 100 million hectares of land, an area the size of Egypt, to degradation.

That’s land that can no longer grow food, support biodiversity, or sustain communities.
