This one of my favorite W A's ever. What a huge area of desert beauty! What great work the USAID folks are doing in the face of enormous challenges of scale.. I would love to live in that beautiful area both as an austere windswept plain or as a sparkling sea.
Can you do a follow up issue where you interview people involved in our own great drying up inland sea- the Great Salt Lake? It s a world ecological disaster in its own right.
Hey Sam! Katharine Beckett Winship on her Matters of Kinship substack has written numerous times on the dire situation at the GSL. She can probably give you good leads.
Not to mention Oregon's own Lake Abert, very much smaller but precious to the migrating birds like the phalarope out there in the desert. Save our desert seas and lakes!
Incredible. I’ve been following this Aral Sea disaster story for years, it’s amazing to read a detailed recovery story (especially after the USAID cuts). Thank you for this reporting!

Glad you enjoyed it! I'd love to learn more about the Great Salt Lake-any thoughts on who I should talk to?

Thanks for the tip!
My pleasure. You might tell your interest in similar issues at the Aral Sea, lots of parallels in the two situations.. "A Tale of Two Seas"...

I'd be curious to hear an update on this, given the recent changes at USAID. Will the work go under under some other department?
