    Desertification is the process of fertile land transforming into desert typically due to drought, climate change, and human activities. It is caused by overgrazing, deforestation, and unsustainable agriculture which degrade the land, reducing its ability to retain water. As a result, drought-resistant plants replace other vegetation and the soil's fertility and organic matter are depleted. Desertification negatively impacts the environment and human communities by decreasing biodiversity, exacerbating climate change, and threatening livelihoods and food security.
