June 17th is the UN World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought. This year’s theme is: Protect Earth. Restore Land. Engage People, which seeks to highlight the Sustainable Development Goal target 15.3 for Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN). To mark the event, we’ve compiled a photo essay exploring how IWMI research contributes to soil conservation and the restoration of degraded land in Africa and Asia.
