Second truth... the majority of the Australian landscape is still covered in native vegetation of various kinds. ThIrd truth... most of the “clearing” the environmentalists wail about is either through burning - a natural part of the Australian biology - or the removal of post-settlement super-dense regeneration of native species occupying what were originally grasslands and grassy-woodlands.

This is interesting for me to see as I grew up in the Coorow/Carnamah area not too far from Yarra Yarra salt lake. My father was a farmer, as were his two brothers and my brother. My father kept rainfall records from the 1920s. His records and those of the BOM suggest that rainfall averages have declined 10% to 20% since the 1960s, however there has been a Green revolution with wheat growing that has enabled crops to withstand drier conditions. BOM scientists say that rainfall will continue to decline about another 15% by the end of the century. It's apparently something to do with Indian ocean temperatures. My father's generation of farmer cut most of the vegetation away, not realising the water table was salty. His first house was moved as it was on what became a salty barren area with seasonal flood plain. Later in life he liked to propagate native plants and plant them along roadsides. By then the damage had been done and I suspect the policy of land development by the West Australian government during the 1960s may have added to the decline in rainfall. In areas west of Yarra Yarra, where the soil is sandy would have different and quite interesting vegetation.

The added benefits are decentralization of food, wealth, grid dependency, other resources. Local communities could survive with the food Mark grows, while still being very desirable products on international markets as well. Actually cattle are important to the management. The cattle provide control of certain insect infestations that plague apples for one because of the natural pruning they provide (it's in one of his videos). Their feet also push deeper into the soil making divots that trap water, humus, and seeds. This helps the system to regenerate. Btw the meats, dairy and eggs from livestock grazed/finished on diverse (weedy) pasture are higher in beneficial polyphenols, omega 3s, and fat profiles (ie much closer to olive oil than that finished on grain). Btw researchers are working on developing perennial wheat, hopefully that is developed quickly. That would be a boon. The wheat straw could then be used to create strawbale homes as well...

It might not look natural but it maximises the trees chances of survival, and allows vehicle access for fire fighting when needed. unfortunately its necessary part of undoing the damage humans have done. controversial opinion, but I personally think we should do away with the blocking of non-native plant species. people say they're invasive, but at this point if it grows here, we should plant it. we need to rehabilitate damaged soils as fast as possible and if that means allowing "invasive" non-native "weeds", so be it.

If they use natives that also produce food and livestock feed they've got a winner. Restoration ag practices would bridge the needs of people to eat, provide for livestock and still assist wildlife while regenerating topsoil, increasing soil carbon, improving water tables, lessening the impact or salt and need for irrigation, etc. Wish you had a website.

Just a few gripes, land clearing while it still happens is far from the free for all that it ounce was. And the high rate of mammal extinction is largely a result of the introduction of cats not land use. Other than that its good to see people that are trying new ways get some recognition, there are many here. People are working on the cats thing also, but it is no minor task. Cheers 👍. au

They should do a series on what is being done about the ancient deforestation in places like China, India and the Middle East. Those places had their forests decimated for fire, cooking, building and smelting metals a very long time ago. It would be nice to see them making a major effort on reforestation too.

@@livi8225 Those countries were deforested well before those "colonizers" showed up. They had civilizations 1000's of years old that had been using forests/wood for a very long time and also clearing them for agriculture. Japan is the only country I know of that made an effort to replant instead of just using everything up. The only reason America retained its old growth forests was the Native Americans were primitive and had no metal tools to chop or saw forests down and no need to make charcoal (lots of wood) to smelt metals. No bronze, no iron, no steel not even the wheel, written language or beast of burden. They carried everything by hand or dragged it by hand. Fire was about the only tool they had to clear land for what small crops they planted.

There are plenty of reasons why Australia will never be a paradise. The main one the weather is extremely variable. We can have droughts lasting a decade followed by years of constant rain. In some places it rarely rains except when there are short periods of flooding rains. There is a reason why most of Australia is uninhabited. It is uninhabitable.

Have we crossed the point of no return in terms of damaging the planet? There is no such point. We need to trust that our thought, which is our greatest quality, can change nature. We only need to understand the direction to which we should aim our thoughts. What should we think about? What condition or state should we aspire to and ask for? In order to save our planet, we should think about positive human connections. That is, how can we, in our connections, keep nature safe? How can we all together protect our world? If we truly wish to better our planet, then we should see people holding a concern for how to positively connect everywhere that we look. It has nothing to do with recycling or other activities that we commonly associate with as being sustainable. If we come closer to and consider each other, that we will reach an entirely organic, perfectly connected and round state, then the negative forces will disappear from the world. We need to understand that if we start thinking better about each other, then the planet will recover from all harm, because our thoughts are the strongest force in nature. Likewise, our negative thoughts about each other are entirely to blame for damaging the planet. That is why the more we recycle and invest in energies and activities that we commonly think of as being sustainable, the worse our planet becomes. Nothing will work to benefit us until we reach a state where our attitude changes toward each other for the better to protect and improve our planet..

@@Tasmantor why is it laughable? you can see already in the map that shows how much forest cover there was in 1800 compared today 0:52 Fire stick farming definately happened but that doesn't mean everything was burned, areas are selected for specific reasons. Large trees were never felled since they had spiritual significance, these are support trees and help younger trees to grow back. Fire stick farming normally works on rotation, where the area is farmed for a few years or cleared for hunting then left to grow back. The problem with the last 200 years is that, colonizers took the land and to hold it for centuries doing the same repeated actions such as tiling and grazing introducing non native species and not allowing anything to grow back and just degrading the soil for plus 100 years. Aboriginal people just did not do this, they were nomadic/ semi nomadic so moved from place to place, which allows for nature to grow back. Its not that the aboriginal people didn't have some sort of impact on the landscape but the colonial farming practices are just much more destructive and over all accelerated the rate of land degredation.
