    I can't tell if you're doing a bit or not but no

    Both biodiversity and biomass are severely reduced in deserts. Yeah there are some cute fennec foxes and stuff that are well-adapted to a desert. Other than that their effect is entirely negative. Even their very existence threatens fertile lands into becoming desert as well.

      Thats a colonial mindset though. Why must people change the environment to fit a specific way of life instead of adapting to their environment themselves and preserving the worlds precious ecosystems.

        because creating more forested carbon sinks helps offset the much more massive anthropogenic climate change?

        Should we leave all the plastic in the ocean because some crabs and birds have adapted to it by using it to build nests?
