They also combat climate change by absorbing carbon from the air and storing it underground. Yet, even though they cover more than 50% of the Earth’s surface, just 12% of grasslands are protected, with conservation efforts often overlooking them. “We are advocating for the protection, sustainable management and restoration of grasslands and savannas globally,” Leonie Meier, WWF Global Grasslands and Savannahs Initiative Lead, told CNN’s Yara Enany at COP16, a conference of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, ongoing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, until December 13. “Our hope for COP16 is really that food system transformation is included as a key driver for sustainable development,” she said.

☆ The high-speed train in Saudi Arabia that connects Mecca and Medina
  + stars: | 2023-03-30 | by ( Lilit Marcus | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +9 min
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia CNN —In the distant past, Muslim pilgrims came to the holy city of Mecca on foot. Haramain means “two sanctuaries” in Arabic, named for the holy cities of Mecca and Medina that sit on the line’s opposite ends. Business class passengers on the train can watch seat-back TVs. Even on a short journey like the one from Jeddah to KAEC, business class passengers are entitled to a full meal service. When it comes to high-speed railway, it seems as though the Haramain line is only the beginning in Saudi Arabia.
