Envisioning a Future without Poverty and a World with Intact Ecosystems
Land degradation threatens the livelihoods of millions of people in the world. Earth's Hope is a multi-media, mass-media initiative working to engage the international community in an integrated approach to poverty reduction and large scale ecosystem rehabilitation, as successfully implemented on China's Loess Plateau, in order to end land degradation, restore the environment and lift millions out of poverty.
