WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -CONSEQUENCES OF DESERTIFICATION The loss of vegetation cover and therefore of food for livestock and humans. Increased risk of zoonotic diseases, such as COVID-19. Loss of forest cover, with a corresponding shortage of wood resources. The decrease in drinking water reserves due to the loss of aquifers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Desertification is a global issue, with serious implications worldwide for biodiversity, eco-safety, poverty eradication, socio-economic stability and sustainable development. Drylands are already fragile. As they become degraded, the impact on people, livestock and environment can be devastating.

Detailed explanation-3: -Desertification is the degradation process by which a fertile land changes itself into a desert by losing its flora and fauna, this can be caused by drought, deforestation, climate change, human activities or improper agriculture. Desertification is a process of degradation of the land.

Detailed explanation-4: -The natural causes of desertification are all extreme climate phenomena related to climate change (recurrent droughts, lack of rain, soil erosion, etc.) worsened by global warming, which is a result of greenhouse gas emissions linked to human activity, meaning humans are directly responsible.
