Land is a crucial basis for life on our planet and must be preserved. This richly illustrated publication, which brings together works of art and science, raises awareness of the ecological restoration ofland. With contributions from authors from the global North and South, including indigenous perspectives on the topic of renaturalisation, it inspires people to take action. Land is the life-sustaining link between the Earths climate and biodiversity and offers a wide variety of ecosystems that need to be restored and preserved. Half of humanity is already affected by the negative effects of industrial overuse of soils and massive land degradation.
