Desertification is a type of land degradation in which a relatively dry land region becomes increasingly arid, typically losing its bodies of water as well as vegetation and wildlife.

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.
