Desertification is an issue widely debated among specialists, particularly within the framework of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD). However, this NATO workshop presented the first opportunity for desertification in the Mediterranean region to be discussed in connection with security, and this novel approach attracted a large attendance, with 225 participants, and a correspondingly large number of contributed papers.

The results are manifested in droughts, desertification, decreased agricultural productivity, and a loss of renewable energy resources like wood, among other things.

Desertification: Serious Threat or Global Myth? Are the world's arable lands being relentlessly consumed and degraded? Is this threat real and is it being adequately addressed in our agenda for the environment? Or are the warnings about desertification being overstated? Are we being diverted by alarmists without a real sense of global evolution? The United Nations Environment Program brings some perspective to this debate. It estimates that: some 30 percent of the earth's land area suffers slight, moderate, or severe desertification, with an additional six percent classified as "extremely, severely desertified" land which cannot be recovered. UNEP, Nairobi 1984 Further, this organization claims that over 900 million people are at risk from desertification. Recently, the media and politicians alike have demonstrated an increased awareness about environmental degradation. The 1992 Earth Summit brought environmental concerns collectively to the world stage for the first time. And at this forum, desertification was again recognized as a global threat. Prominent works on the environment have also pointed to land degradation and desertification as a growing global problem. This phenomena is treated on a similar footing with the grave dangers posed by environmental threats such as:

Home Join Us/Give Now About Us New ... IN PRACTICE Sampler Reversing Desertification by Allan Savory D Desertification is generally defined as the advance of deserts or desert-like conditions that mainly occurs in arid or semi-arid areas. But that definition should really include any area, dry or wet, that is losing life, or biological diversity. Many lakes and seas, for instance, have become "desert-like" in that they are largely lifeless. annual dollar value for the direct and indirect effects of soil erosion alone is $44 billion in the U.S. (Indirect effects include damage to waterways, infrastructure and health). The cost of replacing nutrients lost because of soil erosion comes to $20 billion per year in the U.S. Still, citizens of developed countries view desertification as a problem mainly of developing countries. In 1994, when a consortium of universities, environmental organizations, and development and government agencies sponsored an international conference in Arizona entitled "Desertification in the Developed Countries: Why Can't We Stop It?" it didn't even make the evening news.

Today, desertification is expanding at a rate of 2,460 sq km every year. The State Forestry Administration is now working to draw up a desertification prevention and control program. The program will be carried out in three phases: The first phase will see the harnessing of the seriously harmful but easily controllable desertification sources by 2010; the second phase will have desertification brought under control by 2030; and the third phase will raise the nation’s forest cover to 26 percent and bring all desertification sources under effective control by the year 2050.

Who is to blame for cutting the trees? Deforested regions disturb the natural balance and make way for desertification. Who is to blame for cutting the trees? Poison Zakaliya, a father of eight, is also taking care of six orphaned grandchildren. He has three acres of land on which he grows crops to provide for his large family. Having used this piece of land for years, the soil has now lost its fertility and he cannot reap as much as he used to in the past. Therefore, Zakaliya chose to encroach into nearby Thyolo Mountain, a forest reserve. Apart from Thyolo Mountain, the Kalulu and Thyolomwani hills have also been heavily encroached and deforested. Little did people like Zakaliya know that their encroaching on the mountains would have far reaching consequences on their lives. The encroached hills are catchment areas from which several rivers in the district originate. rivers no longer flow With the heavy deforestation that came with people encroaching on the hills, the rivers no longer flow during the dry season because they dry up quickly. The wetlands are no longer the wetlands they used to be. The local communities and their village leaders are asking government through their Members of Parliament to drill more boreholes in the district because most of the rivers they relied upon for their day to day water supply have run dry. Zakaliya says most perennial rivers do not flow throughout the dry season as they used to. He does not know why this is so. All he can remember is that in his youth days this was not the case.

phentermine Phentermine is recommended if you suffer from obesity, have an elevated body mass or need to lose more than 10 pounds. Phentermine is a prescription medication that is used by millions to shed unwanted pounds by combining the use of Phentermine with an exercise plan that will tone your body. Because every person is different, with different amounts of body fats and different medical needs, you must determine how much Phentermine is needed for your particular weight loss needs. Phentermine is used in the short-term treatment of obesity. Its appetite-reducing effect tends to decrease after a few weeks. Because of this, this medicine is useful only during the first few weeks of a weight-loss program. Phentermine can help you to lose weight while you are learning new ways to eat and to exercise. Changes in eating habits and activity level must be developed and continued long-term in order for you to continue losing weight and to keep the lost weight from returning. Phentermine works by stimulating a gland, called the hypothalamus, and affecting certain neurotransmitters to decrease appetite. The limited usefulness of agents of this class should be weighed against possible risks inherent in their use, such as those described in "Side Effects" and "Precautions". phentermine phentermine for sale and cheap phentermine phentermine free shipping phentermine for sale cheap phentermine order phentermine online ... phentermine 37.5
