The theme for the Living Soils Symposium (Feb 22-26, 2021) is "Hydrating Landscapes to Mitigate Climate Change"

This is a phenomenally important topic, & if you aren't sure why, I'll add links to some other conference presentations that explain it. https://livingsoilssymposium.ca/en/attend/ 

Solidarity passes are available for $25 "if you belong to a community whose voice has been under-represented in agriculture, or if you face financial barriers in accessing the symposium" and grant access to watch the conference live online.

Basically, the Biodiversity for a Livable Climate YouTube channel ( @bio4climate here on Twitter) is a huge resource, offered freely to anyone who's interested in the living systems of planet Earth. Here's one that's relevant to the Living Soils symposium:

Here's another one, specifically on the restoration of the Suzi Creek watershed in Nevada. It's longer, but I promise it's worth watching.

This one is *even longer* but that's... a good thing.

Here's part 1 of a 3-part series spotlighting Brad Lancaster, who has demonstrated how to rehydrate urban landscapes in Tucson AZ

part 2 -

part 3 -

I lied, it's a 4 part series.

Here's a 90yr old landscape rehydrating project outside of Tucson AZ, unmaintained since the moment it was finished by the New Deal work project that set it in motion -

Here's permaculture leader Geoff Lawton's video "Greening the Desert" about a project in Jordan, on salted desert land near the Dead Sea -

and here's John Liu's documentation of the restoration of the Loess Plateau in China, where this regeneration work has been undertaken at scale, and which has been demonstrating astonishing results for more than a decade -

I hate that any of those links don't appear to be putting up a thumbnail, because I would have added more text myself if I realized that was happening. A minimum-text tweet with a plain hyperlink to a video isn't very compelling :(
