UN Environment Programme: Communities unite to save high Andean forests, for water & climate

I edited a short doc for the UN Environment Programme to highlight the work done by Accion Andina in protecting watersheds in the high Andes through native flora restoration.

SYNOPSIS: Our soil is degrading, droughts increasing and once fertile land is turning into desert (www.decadeonrestoration.org ). But there are glimmers of hope: In the high Andes of Latin America, hundreds of communities are uniting across five countries to secure water sources and mitigate climate change. Learn how they do it – and why an old tree is a secret weapon in their fight.
Acción Andina has been recognized as a World Restoration Flagship under the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.
