Dare to dream

Like the Sahara desert

Thank you for doing this AMA, it has been really interesting to read and you've helped me glean some much needed hope for the future. I just have a couple of questions but I understand if you're all done answering questions for now.

Are you familiar with the work of Allan Savory (his TED talk)? He has a particular view on desertification that claims that reintroducing livestock in a way that mimics nature (the type of grazing found in nature prior to human intervention) has profound effects on reversing desertification. In your view, how does this approach compare to the benefits of true biodiversity brought upon by indigenous reforestation? Are indigenous species of animals bound to increase in population to pre-desertification levels naturally when native plants are reintroduced?

If you're not familiar with his work I strongly encourage you to watch his TED talk, and I'd be very interested in your thoughts.
