Thorn forest once blanketed the Rio Grande Valley. Restoring even a little of it could help the region cope with the impacts of climate change

    This is one of those insane things, that I don’t think will go anywhere, that no one thinks will go anywhere, and then makes a little bit of progress against all odds. I hope they continue although it doesn’t sound like they have an easy task ahead of them

      Projects like this are in desperate need of serious people to help them scale up. If even a small fraction of the people who see articles like this (or videos, or whatever) were to contribute some of their time and energy to the projects themselves, then the odds wouldn’t be so against them, and that little bit of progress would become reforestation of entire regions. The question isn’t whether it’s possible for a project like this to succeed; the question is whether there are enough people willing to make it happen.
