Suggest you work out the economic value to local people and to the global economy of greening all the Earth’s deserts. Things have changed some since Fews.net but not that much, only in ease of getting online. You have some better tools now, but perhaps lack courage and sustainable global methods. “Corruption” is not harder than famine. The consequences of fixing things is authors rights are routinely violated, and local people shoved aside. So if you map it, someone else is supposed to fix it? or if you fix it, someone else takes your credit? You say it ought to be fixed and don’t do it? Not an easy part of the game, an end game, but you have to do what you can in a finite lifetime.
