Desertification
FERTILE LAND! WE COME TO YOUR RESCUE!!
MORE THAN 1/3 OF AFRICA IS AFFECTED BY DESERTIFICATION!
WHo's AffEctEd?
The Sahara Desert
A lot of arable land is becoming the Sahara. The water from the ground is being extracted too much so it becomes a desert.
The people and animals
The people in Africa are being affected by this. The desert is hot and has very little water so the people can die. The animals are losing their habitat because the land becomes so different. Animals who eat the grass may die.
Overrgrazing
The people need to feed their sheep and other animals. The animals may eat all of the grass. If done so too much, the land may become very dusty, turning into a desert.
