Desertification threatens to displace 50 million people worldwide by 2030. This human-led process has caused the collapse of civilizations, and threatens livelihoods, ecosystems, and sustainable development. The consequences of desertification are exacerbated by the climate crisis, and it is an issue mentioned in the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

Despite its importance, however, ranching can have cataclysmic effects on our environment and climate.
