These include indirect factors such as population pressure, socioeconomic and policy factors, and international trade as well as direct factors such as land use patterns and practices and climate related processes”( By this they mean that there are different factors that contribute to desertification; both those caused by humans, but also natural processes. In another report written by Monique Mainguet, professor at the United Nations University, it's stated that it is not possible to say that the whole responsibility of desertification has to do with human activity; since we are not able to distinguish what parts are due to man and what is caused by temporary climate changes (archive). In the report it is also stated that in pictures of Niger from 1950 it clearly shows that degradation of the landscape is not a new occurrence, but has been happening...
