In today’s lesson, we focused on the concept of desertification in the Sahel region, located south of the Sahara Desert in Africa. We discussed the definition of desertification as land degradation leading to the conversion of land into a desert, along with its causes—both natural and anthropogenic (human) activities. We also explored solutions employed by the people of the Sahel, such as tree planting and sustainable land management, to combat the challenges posed by desertification and improve their living conditions.
