Boost the Green Earth Program through International Partnerships / Cooperations and the Green Earth Community
Purpose and scope of the Green Earth community
The Green Earth Community aims to advance the knowledge and application of technologies based on induced biological soil crusts (iBSCs) for reversing desertification. The larger scale application of BSC technology will help land managers and governments to fight desertification which will be for the benefit of life on Earth. The community will identify key areas related to the large-scale application of BSC technology and the production of carbon sinks enabling the regrowth of natural vegetation.
Goal
Our common goal in establishing and running the Green Earth Community is to increase the awareness for the utility of biological soil crusts for economic, environmental, and scientific reasons.
By 2030, we want to achieve the following goals:
- Global certification of the method through tests in various regions.
- Development of projects in several countries.
- Creation of a global species database.
- Development of an AI based model allowing the application of the optimal mix and treatment procedure globally.
Green Earth Community is the dedicated space for community members
- Feature key thought-leaders' contributions to the central topic of biological soil crusts and their role in reducing desertification and mitigating climate change by acting as carbon sinks
- Develop and promote broad programs focused on induced biological soil crusts and their large-scale application to reduce desertification
- Discuss and implement follow-up programs on ecosystem restoration
Tasks of the community
The main task of the community is to create a network of various interested groups so that they can benefit from each other's know-how and expertise. This will be achieved through workshops (number and event format TBD), public communication, dissemination of best practice cases, and the development of required tools (e.g., database, AI model)
