Terrestrial Ecosystems

Models to protect, restore and sustainably use soils and forests; that prevent desertification, soil degradation and seek the balance of species and ecosystems, strengthening global biodiversity.
Description
The climate and the landscape directly affect all species and their ecosystems, which are the basis of all civilization, sustain our economies and represent a source of biodiversity, food and life.

More than half of the world's population directly depends on healthy ecosystems for survival. We need to generate collective action to build bridges between conservation and development, which guarantee the health of the landscape that surrounds us and the systems that provide us with life.
