"“If we took 75% of the world’s trashed rangeland, we could restore it from agriculture back to functioning prairies — with their animal cohorts — in under fifteen years. We could further sequester all of the carbon that has been released since the beginning of the industrial age. So I find that a hopeful thing because, frankly, we just have to get out of the way. Nature will do the work for us. This planet wants to be grassland and forest. It does not want to be an agricultural mono-crop.” ― Lierre Keith
"Si cogiéramos el 75% del territorio arrasado del mundo! podríamos restaurarlo desde la agricultura hacia praderas productivas, con su cohorte de fauna, en unos quince años. Podríamos secuestrar toco el carbono que ha sido liberado desde el comienzo de la era industrial. Así que esto me parece esperanzador porque, con franqueza, debemos quitarnos de en medio. La Naturaleza hará el trabajo por nosotrxs. Este planeta quiere ser praderas y bosques. No quiere ser monocultivo agrícola.
