This is really informative and brings to light the history of environmental destruction in particular with colonising other lands. This does debunk the myth of the creation of farmland out of desert.

Thanks, Cara. Another subtle, informative and hard-hitting piece.

Heartbreakingly sad to read, but knowing is more necessary than ever. Thank you Cara shining light into dark corners.
