Desertification is the degradation of the land in arid and dry sub-humid areas, but is not occurring in Africa yet. True Falsr

False.

Desertification is a significant environmental challenge, and it is occurring in various regions around the world, including parts of Africa.

Desertification refers to the process of land degradation in arid, semi-arid, and dry sub-humid areas, often caused by a combination of factors such as climate variability, human activities, and unsustainable land management practices.

In Africa, several countries and regions face the impacts of desertification, leading to the expansion of desert areas and the deterioration of land productivity.

Factors contributing to desertification in Africa include deforestation, overgrazing, improper agricultural practices, and climate change.

The Sahel region, which spans across parts of North Africa, is particularly vulnerable to desertification.

Efforts to combat desertification involve sustainable land management practices, afforestation, reforestation, and community-based initiatives to restore degraded land. International organizations, including the United Nations, have been actively involved in addressing desertification and promoting initiatives to mitigate its impacts.
