(L to R) South African Robert Scholes co-chairman of the Land Degradation and Restoration Assessment, Anne Larigauderie, Secretary of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) and British Robert Watson, President of IPBES attend a press conference in the framework of the 6th IPBES Biodiversity Summit, in Medellin, Antioquia department, Colombia on March 26, 2018. At the end of a week-long meeting of the 129-member IPBES in Medellin scientists warned that land degradation will unleash a mass migration of at least 50 million people by 2050 -- as many as 700 million unless humans stop depleting the life-giving resource. The land report, which was approved by government envoys and cost about $1 million (810,000 euros) to prepare, is meant to inform government policy-making. / AFP PHOTO / JOAQUIN SARMIENTO (Photo credit should read JOAQUIN SARMIENTO/AFP via Getty Images)
