World Day to Combat Desertification & Drought isn’t about deserts, it promotes awareness of efforts to combat overexploitation of ecosystems which cover a third of Earth’s land, as a result of poverty, political instability and bad farming. @UNCCD #DesertificationAndDroughtDay https://t.co/z9tFrzvuzZ

Today is World Day to Combat #Desertification and #Drought. Restoring degraded land brings #resilience, jobs and food security. Helps #biodiversity recover and slows #climatechange by locking away carbon. All critical to lifting so many out of poverty. @UN @UNDPClimate @UNDPinPNG

It's World Day to Combat Desertification & Drought! A cause very close to our hearts & to the lives of the dryland families we support with sand dams & climate-smart agriculture. Read Chairman @David_R_Jordan's thoughts: https://t.co/wZxCr0N8OY #DesertificationAndDroughtDay https://t.co/x6M6lCEc8Q
