Brazil is suffering another terrible fire season, with Sao Paulo state, the Amazon and the Pantanal wetlands recording massive blazes. The dry period in Brazil usually lasts from August to October. But climate experts with the World Weather Attribution, a group of scientists investigating the effects of climate change on extreme weather, said this past June was the country's "driest, hottest, and windiest" month since records began in 1979.

In the 1950s, to protect China's first railway that runs through a desert, the city of Zhongwei embarked on a journey of desert mitigation. Scientists at the Shapotou Desert Research and Experiment Station, part of the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with local residents, developed straw checkerboards to stabilize the sand and prevent dunes from shifting. Tang Ximing, a senior engineer at a state-owned forestry farm in Zhongwei, crafted a steel tool that differs from regular shovels by featuring two horizontal bars at the front tip. This innovative tool enables the planting of seedling roots 50 centimeters deep into the moist sand layer. This simple tool increases the survival rate of afforestation by 25 percent
