Environmental film director John Liu (from "Hope In A Changing Climate") has created a new 12-minute film to celebrate the World Day to Combat Desertification, which is observed this year with the slogan, "Forests keep drylands working".

This video shows a small excerpt from John's film where he talks about EarthCollective's "PRESENCE" initiative and its involvement to help restore degraded land in South Africa's Baviaanskloof Mega Reserve.
