"If we took 75% of the worldâ€™s trashed rangeland, we could restore it from agriculture back to functioning prairies â€” with their animal cohorts â€” 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."
