Desertification is an evironmental phenomenon that has intrigued scientists over the years. It ravages about one-third of the landmass of Africa, about a quarter of Australia and occupies a significant portion of the Americas and Asia.
Various in-depth studies on desertification have been carried out in the field.
The authors experiences across the Sahara Desert are missions and campaigns in environmental awareness with a view to eliciting action from world bodies concerned with such matters, so as to stem and eventually stop the desert from wreaking further destruction of natural and beneficial resources.
List of content:
Part 1: A life changed; experiencing the desert
Part 2: Solutions; Understanding the desert
Part 3: Epilogue
