    This document discusses three major threats to life on land: desertification, deforestation, and species extinction. It provides statistics on the scale of each problem, such as 24 billion tons of land becoming desertified every year and 13 million hectares of forests being lost to deforestation annually. For Italy specifically, 20% of the country is at risk of desertification, over 4,000 km2 of forests were destroyed in 2017, and 266 species are currently at risk of extinction. The document suggests solutions like restoring forests, enacting stricter laws around agriculture, farming, hunting and pollution, and raising public awareness.
