Desertification This is the process that sees productive land turned into non-productive desert. It usually affects dry areas on the edge of deserts, eg The Sahel, south of the Sahara Desert in Africa.
There are conflicts between nomads and settled village dwellers, as nomads are forced to move their herds north after the first rains of the season but often have no pastures ready in the north. There are steps being taken to combat desertification in the Sahel, most notably by the Eden Foundation, but also by other groups.
