Restore<\/strong>.\u201d, with Kenya as the host country. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the C\u00f3rdoba Forum, World Convivence Forum, we wish to connect this environmental reflection with the spirit of the International Day of Living Together in Peace, that of Convivence, which we celebrated this year with some delay because of the Andalusian election calendar. Soil degradation, water scarcity and biodiversity loss are not only ecological problems: they affect food security, work, human displacement and the balance between communities. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Caring for the soil means caring for our shared life. Restoring the land also means restoring bonds of cooperation, responsibility and hope between generations, cultures and peoples. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rangelands, the focus of the 2026 World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought, are essential to the lives of millions of people and to the balance of ecosystems.
