This is fantastic, thanks for sharing Neal's work. I never see his name pop up as much as it should, he's doing some pretty cool stuff.

"It’s hard to describe, but bringing life back to a place that felt dead is an incredibly satisfying, even sublime, experience."

- I can imagine this is very hard to describe, I can imagine noticing those ants for the first time, or the lizards etc, what a feeling. Good work Neal.

In the Philippines, this may be of some interest, but we're talking tropical rice versus Mediterranean rice varieties, so this probably isn't applicable:

1. IRRI is working on breeding salt resistant varieties of rice which could possibly be worth looking into (https://www.irri.org/news-and-events/news/reinventing-salt-tolerant-rice-breeding-ground-zero)

2. MASIPAG (farmers and seed saving/protecting biodiversity) also have salt resistant varieties (https://masipag.org/amidst-crisis-farmer-scientist-group-launch-climate-resilient-rice-varieties/)
