Africa is facing a large problem called desertification. Desertification is an increase in the desert like conditions in arid or semi-arid lands, or more easily said, the spreading of the deserts. It can be caused by the climate, humans, and animals.
Climate causes desertification because Africa goes through droughts which makes it pretty much impossible for vegetation to survive, thus, creating desert like conditions. Humans continue to expand their area, cutting down trees and building buildings which is again killing of vegetation but also ruining the environment of the animals that may live in that area pushing them farther out and leaving them with less
to eat. Which brings in the problem of overgrazing. Because there isn't a whole lot of vegetation it is causing animals to continue to eat over and over the vegetation that is available which is not giving the vegetation enough time to grow back.The Sahara desert which is located in Africa is the largest desert in the world. Currently it is increasing in size by 1 km per year and has not slowed down any. With this increasing problem of desertification will Africa end up being a complete desert one day?

Wow, I did not know that the Southwestern area had a desert, let along one that could grow.
I didn't realize that deserts could grow and that it was such a common thing in Africa. Thanks for educating me.
