Dust from the Sahara covered this Spanish ski resort, a visual of
North Africas importance to the rest of the world

The most emptiest and parched area of the world, the Sahara supplies
vital nutrients through this dust for rainforests and ocean life 1/

Every year millions of tons of dust migrates across the Atlantic, some
settles into the sea, supplying about 87 percent of its iron, most
ends up in the Amazon forest, delivering 22,000 tons of phosphorus,
matching what the Amazon loses annually in rainfalls and floods 2

How interconnected we are that long dead microorganisms in an ancient
African lake bed, feed 'the lungs of the world', the sea and the
forests, migrating to exactly where it's needed, every year
