Chris Nash's Talk About Pachamama, A Land Restoration Project in South Africa

Image
Camp Appalachian Renewal : Nearly 1.5 million acres of land in the Appalachian region has been disturbed by surface mining of coal. Reclamation laws lead to practices which stabilize ground conditions, including intense surface grading, heavy compaction of soils, and the establishment of ground covers that establish rapidly. However, the unintended environmental consequences of these practices are now widely observed including: High tree mortality and stunted tree growth A move away from forestry reclamation to hay/pasture land reclamation (due to tree mortality and to more quickly meet SMCRA bond release requirements) Broad introduction of fast growing non-native groundcovers that outcompete native plants leading to pastures overrun with invasive, exotic species Flooding as the result of reduced topsoil water infiltration rates and increased run-off Although stable, reclaimed Appalachian mine lands are mired in a state of arrested ecological succession, they maintain depleted levels o...

My comment : This is really interesting, but to claim that it's the last video anyone needs to watch about it sounds ridiculous. Are you really going to exhaust the whole topic in fifteen minutes? Or do you just mean watching videos is a waste of time in general. You might be right in that case. [ 13:21 "All that water flowing through Phoenix wasn't wasted, some of it will soak into the ground and refill the aquifer". That's what your next video about the flooding in Arizona should be about, getting yourself an education!]   See Beavers Making Money in Arizona .  Subscribe to  Curtis Webber . Same idea: but it's not wasted, ... some of it will soak in downstream, ... This project sounds like it's half a dozen people and some AI to handle the contractors.

23:00 He thinks it's just that people who think they're in positions of power are ignorant, but how can anyone be that stupid and not be held to account for it?
