Indigenous Peoples and Environmental Change
Desertification is the process by which fertile land becomes increasingly arid and unproductive, often as a result of various factors such as climate change, deforestation, and unsustainable agricultural practices. This transformation can severely impact ecosystems and communities, especially in dryland regions, where the land is already vulnerable to degradation. Understanding this process is crucial for developing soil conservation methods and addressing challenges faced by desert and semi-arid regions.
