Desertification is the degradation of the land in arid, semi-arid, and dry sub-humid regions as a result of a variety of reasons, including climate variations, human activity, and improper management of natural resources. It has a negative impact on biological productivity, plant cover loss, soil erosion, and the quantity and quality of available water resources.
This may result in a decrease in the ability of the land to support both human and animal life, as well as serious social and economic issues for the neighborhood, especially for people whose livelihoods depend on agriculture and cattle.
The once-fertile land can sometimes become entirely dry and unable to support any life, as a result of the process of desertification.
