                         Brazilian semiarid region, the Caatinga, based on recent 
                         publications about global climate change and biology. We found 
                         several vulnerable points in the initial estimates, the main one 
                         being that the data were collected and analyzed without a 
                         multidisciplinary knowledge. This review discusses several studies 
                         that show the current knowledge in many semiarid regions around 
                         the world. Some of these studies argue for the increase in 
                         vegetation greenness responses even under severe and prolonged 
                         drought, based on the high resilience the Caatinga native species 
                         show under severe drought conditions over the years. Additionally, 
                         we include in this review recent data produced by our group on key 
                         ecophysiological variables under drought conditions. We also show 
                         successful examples of deforested areas recovery in the semiarid 
                         region of the Central America. It is critical that the recovery of 
                         semiarid areas is coupled with the implementation of 
                         socio-environmental policies, engaging the local population and 
                         providing subsidies for life wealth improvement. These are key 
                         aspects for a long-term recovery and conservation of the Brazilian 
                         dry tropical forest.",
