Recently, a document published by ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) named Desertification and Land Degradation Atlas shows that Land Degradation and Desertification has increased significantly in recent years.The Atlas provides a state wise area of degraded lands for the time frame 2018-19. It...
Land degradation is a decline in productivity of land in terms of bio-diversity and economy, resulting from various causes including climate and human-induced factors, leading to loss of ecosystem. Desertification is referred to as land degradation occurring in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid ...

consensual definition to desertification was proposed by the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD1994), as follows: “land degradation in arid, semiarid and subhumid areas, resulting from various factors including climatic variations and human activities”. However, D’Odorico et....
Some 250,000 ha of degraded land have been rehabilitated, from 3 to 5 million hectares may be within the reach of improved management, and earth satellite images show ‘regreening’. The evolution of Niger’s anti-desertification strategy since 1960 is summarized. The 1980s were pivotal years...
In June 2023, China proposed that the TSFP be turned into a fully functional, unbreakable "green Great Wall" and ecological security barrier in northern China. As the International Day for the Prevention of Desertification and Land Degradation aims to galvanize a global sense of duty and urgency...
The spread of larger land patches exposed to intrinsic degradation brings to important consequences since (1) the rising number of hotspots may increase the probability of local-scale degradation processes, and (2) the buffering effect of neighbouring (unaffected) land can be less effective on ...
" write the authors of the World Atlas of Desertification, noting that more than 80 percent of the world's farms are managed by individual households, primarily in Africa and Asia. "Smallholders are now seen as part of the solution of land degradation rather than a main problem, which was ...
