We are experiencing a dangerous decline in nature: One million species are threatened with extinction, soils are turning infertile and water sources are drying up. But there are glimmers of hope: The Central American Dry Corridor has long been suffering from droughts and floods that drive food insecurity and migration in the millions. Farmers are now rising up to the challenge. Learn how they protect what they have, and bring back what was lost. The Central American Dry Corridor has been recognized as a World Restoration Flagship under the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. These initiatives represent Earth’s frontiers of hope, as countries agreed to a new Global Biodiversity Framework. Under the agreement, countries promise to protect 30% of the planet’s lands and seas, and bringing back 20% from degradation.
