Desertification in Africa Will Affect the World?!

 

Title: How desertification in Africa will affect the world 

Summery: My article, “The Effects of Desertification in Africa '' talked about what is desertification, why it is an issue, and what are some possible solutions. Desertification is “A process that destroys fertile land. This can be caused by drought, overpopulation, over-farming, deforestation and climate change.” Over 6 million acres of land is being turned into desert in India, and desertification has already affected over 46% of Africa. This causes many problems, such as wildlife losing habitat, lack of natural resources, and extreme weather conditions. These could all affect humans in negative ways. The article also talked about ways scientists tried to stop desertification, such as the Great Green Wall. It is a row of trees growing across the land of Africa. The scientists also predicted desertification will still affect the world for the next 20 years. 

Analysis: This article reminded me of the Shade Balls that was introduced a while back. Those were to help unnecessary chemicals getting in the water source from the sun affecting humans. I feel like the Great Green Wall is similar to the Shade Balls just on a much Larger scale. I also feel that desertification will continue to be a major issue for more than 50 years, because the pollution of the Earth continues to grow day by day. So I don't see a way to stop desertification unless some major science improvement comes out. 

 Discussions Questions: Do you agree or disagree with my predictions on desertification? And what do you think the people should do about desertification?
