<jats:p> De la Cruz <jats:italic>et al</jats:italic> . question the reliability of our results, claiming that we do not refer to the most appropriate spatial extent of drylands. In our response, we explain why we chose an existing and internationally recognized delineation of drylands among several options, and why our findings are due to a difference of remote sensing technique and not to the definition of drylands we have selected. </jats:p>

<jats:p> The study by Bastin <jats:italic>et al</jats:italic> . (Reports, 12 May 2017, p. 635) is based on an incomplete delimitation of dry forest distribution and on an old and incorrect definition of drylands.

Therefore, its results and conclusions may be unreliable. </jats:p>

<jats:p>Since its founding in 1945, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has been a leading convener and advocate for the natural and social sciences and the humanities. Every year since 2001, on 10 November, UNESCO's World Science Day reminds us of the importance of science for sustainable development and peace. This year's theme, “Science for Global Understanding,” also underpins the debates of scientists and policy-makers from around the world who are convening in Jordan this week at the UNESCO World Science Forum. One of their key concerns is the growing criticism of scientific integrity and denial of scientific findings. Building trust in science and fostering scientific excellence is central to all of UNESCO's work.</jats:p>
