 From the dry forests of South America to the steps of Central Asia, dryland regions encompass a large variety of productive landscapes. They are home to more than 2 billion people and support over half of the world's food production. Almost half of Africa's land surface is considered drylands, home to 525 million people and hosting major biodiversity hotspots. But drylands are under threat and too often overlooked and assumed to be wasteland. With climate change, population growth and growing livestock demand, desertification, deforestation and biodiversity loss are increasing and must be halted. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has launched the Drylands Sustainable Landscapes Impact Program, funded by the Global Environment Facility to combat land degradation in drylands through sustainable interventions and pragmatic, multi-level collective action. Realizing that common challenges affect different communities and landscapes across dryland regions, the program calls upon stakeholders at all levels to collaborate in achieving positive change. Months before the program started, FAO established an initiative that uses participatory videos to capture the existing conditions and local adaptation strategies in targeted landscapes. Reflections and I recognize that it's true. I think it is one of the most important things in the world, and it's the most important thing in life. We have the most busy notes. We have the most busy music that we can play, and we have the most busking music. It's very, very good. We have the most busy notes. It's not that. At the moment, we are not doing the same. If we were to work with the farmers, we would have to take a different route. But we would have to do something about it. We will not be able to do the same. The thing is, we will not be able to do the same as we did with the farmers. We will be able to do the same. The block is not going to work. What do you think? They were destroyed by a terrible storm. The rest of the land, the whole land were destroyed. They were completely destroyed. We went to the city and closed the dam. I was born in Marchonga. I was born in Marchonga in the process of growing this land. We were originally living in the forest. All the way from ours to ours. There were about 8 of us. In the forest, we were Leave-away. We went to the forest to get our bike. I went to the forest to get my bike. The land that was built in the first place was the Khmelnytskyi River. The land was in the territory of the Khunarlokh, and the Khmelnytskyi River was built in the same way as that of the Khmelnytskyi River. It was a very small land, and I had to go to the water and the river, and I was having trouble. Yes, this is the vast territory of the Paspian lands and occupies the fifth place in the world in the area of the Paspian land. These lands play an important role in the social and economic development of rural territories and the life and care of rural residents, as well as the preservation of biodiversity and environment. However, over the last 100 years, the degradation of 48 million hectares of land and 38% of them are Paspian lands. The problem of degradation of Paspian lands is presently and for the active region. Resilience of dry land landscapes in 11 countries in Southern Africa, East and West Africa and Central Asia. In support of the aims of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, the program introduces scalable, participatory and transparent interventions on the ground to make dry land landscapes more sustainable and resilient and to improve the livelihoods for local communities. FAO, GEF and the program partners seek to reach more than 1 million direct beneficiaries and bring 12 million hectares of dry lands under sustainable land management, reducing the emission of greenhouse gases by an estimated 34.6 million tonnes.
