Reforestation has shown to increase rainfall amounts, even at the small scale of just a couple of thousand acres. Hear more about it in this new interview talking about the regenerative water movement with alphalo climatewaterproject.substack.com/p/indias-regen…

Fungi produce around fifty megatons of spores each year––the equivalent to the weight of 500,000 blue whales. Spores are carried upward by a wind current generated by mushrooms as water evaporates from their gills. The spores float up into the clouds, where they influence
