Desertification is a significant global ecological and environmental problem.


Desertification, exacerbated by climate change, represents one of the greatest environmental challenges of our times...

Desertification and Climate Change

“Desertification is a fancy word for land that is turning to desert.”

Desertification is associated with biodiversity loss and contributes to global climate change through loss of carbon sequestration capacity and an increase in land-surface albedo.
