    But at what cost?

    Jokes aside, wouldn’t greening the desert have a worse impact on that ecosystem? Like greening the Sahara desert would collapse the major forests on Earth.

      The deserts have been expanding for a long time and absorbing arable land. They’re not greening the entire desert obviously. They’re reclaiming the land and creating a green wall so the desert doesn’t spread.

        Good to know! I don’t like the idea of destroying the natural deserts for greenwashing; they’ve been here before any human settlements, and an important part of the ecosystem.
