English translation:this piece draws on the example of forestation, a quintessential way in which to counter desertifica
Explanation:
Here is how I would translate this sentence:

"this piece draws on the example of forestation, a quintessential way in which to counter desertification."

'piece' can be replaced with 'book', 'ediiton', 'work', 'article' or whatever is appropriate.
'quintessential' can also be rendered 'typical'.
'forestation' can also be substituted with 'planting trees'

Hope this helps.
