Contrary to popular perception, desertification is not the loss of land to desert or through sand-dune movement. It refers to land degradation resulting from climatic variations and human activities.
It is not a natural process; it is the result of mankind's actions.
Today, a third of land is threatened by desertification.

"Desertification is a fancy word for land that is turning to desert," begins Allan Savory in this quietly powerful talk. And terrifyingly, it's happening to about two-thirds of the world's grasslands, accelerating climate change and causing traditional grazing societies to descend into social chaos. Savory has devoted his life to stopping it. He now believes -- and his work so far shows -- that a surprising factor can protect grasslands and even reclaim degraded land that was once desert.

Over the next decade, 50 million people may be displaced by desertification - the result of climate change and the depletion of natural resources. Action Against Desertification, an initiative of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States is implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations with the financial contribution of the European Union. It aims to restore the productivity of degraded forests and landscapes and enhance the resilience of people to climate change in 6 Great Green Wall countries in Africa as well as Haiti in the Caribbean and Fiji in the Pacific.

Groasis anti desertification instruction film in Dubai to plant trees in deserts.
Visit http://groasis.com for more explanation in 5 languages. The Groasis Technology is a water saving anti desertification planting technology to reforest deserts. Trees are planted in such a way, that they can grow without the use of irrigation afterwards. In this instruction film Pieter Hoff shows you how you have to plant in order to reach this result. The video was taken in the Dubai desert and the trees grow well as you can see on the end.
الرجاء زيارة http://groasis.com لمعلومات اكثر. جرويسيس هي تكنولوجيا لتوفير المياه و مكافحة التصحر و تشجير الصحاري. الزراعة بهذه التكنولوجيا تمكن الأشجار من النمو و الحياة بدون الحاجة إلى الري. السيد بيتر هوف يشرح في فيلم التعليمات هذا كيفية الزراعة للوصول لهذا الهدف (أشجار لا تحتاج للري). هذا الفيلم قد صور في صحراء دبي و الأشجار تنمو بشكل ممتاز كما ترون في نهاية الفيلم.
Visita http://groasis.com/es para más información. La Tecnología Groasis es una tecnología contra la desertificación con ahorro de agua para reforestar desiertos y tierras baldias. Los árboles se plantan de tal manera, que puedan crecer sin el uso de riego por goteo. En esta instrucción Pieter Hoff muestra cómo hay que sembrar para llegar a este resultado. El video fue tomado en el desierto de Dubai y los árboles crecen bien como se puede ver al final de video.

Desertification is the degradation of land in any dryland. It is caused by a variety of factors, such as climate change and human activities. Desertification is one of the most significant global environmental problems.
Considerable controversy exists over the proper definition of the term "desertification" for which Helmut Geist (2005) has identified more than 100 formal definitions. The most widely accepted of these is that of the Princeton University Dictionary which defines it as "the process of fertile land transforming into desert typically as a result of deforestation, drought or improper/inappropriate agriculture"
The earliest known discussion of the topic arose soon after the French colonization of West Africa, when the Comité d'Etudes commissioned a study on desséchement progressif to explore the prehistoric expansion of the Sahara Desert.
The world's great deserts have been formed by natural processes interacting over long intervals of time. During most of these times, deserts have grown and shrunk independent of human activities. Paleodeserts are large sand seas now inactive because they are stabilized by vegetation, some extending beyond the present margins of core deserts, such as the Sahara, the largest hot desert.

Sir David Frederick Attenborough (
/ˈætənbərə/) OM, CH, CVO, CBE, FRS, FZS, FSA (born 8 May 1926) is a British broadcaster and naturalist.
His career as the face and voice of natural history programmes has endured for more than 50 years. He is best known for writing and presenting the nine Life series, in conjunction with the BBC Natural History Unit, which collectively form a comprehensive survey of all life on the planet. He is also a former senior manager at the BBC, having served as controller of BBC Two and director of programming for BBC Television in the 1960s and 1970s.
Attenborough is widely considered a national treasure in Britain, although he himself does not care for the term. He is a younger brother of director, producer and actor Richard Attenborough.
Attenborough was born in Isleworth, west London, but grew up in College House on the campus of the University College, Leicester, where his father, Frederick, was principal. He is the middle of three sons (his elder brother, Richard, became an actor and his younger brother, John, an executive at Italian car manufacturer Alfa Romeo). During World War II his parents also adopted two Jewish refugee girls from Europe.

After waiting for three years for rain, Al Baydha Project finally got a second test of its water system, and the results were fantastic. As we increase the tree cover, we will decrease evaporation, increase wind break, shade cover, soil biota, and the soil's capacity to absorb water. Thus we can reverse the cycle of desertification and replace it with a cycle of regeneration, until the land can support fruit trees, grazing animals, honeybees, and other desert produce.

After waiting for three years for rain, Al Baydha Project finally got a second test of its water system, and the results were fantastic. As we increase the tree cover, we will decrease evaporation, increase wind break, shade cover, soil biota, and the soil's capacity to absorb water. Thus we can reverse the cycle of desertification and replace it with a cycle of regeneration, until the land can support fruit trees, grazing animals, honeybees, and other desert produce.

Contrairement à ce que l'on pourrait croire, la désertification n'est pas l'avancée naturelle du désert, ni le déplacement de dunes de sable.
C'est l'épuisement des terres cultivables sous l'effet de l'activité humaine et des changements climatiques.
Ce n'est pas un processus naturel, c'est la conséquence des actions de l'Homme. Aujourd'hui, un tiers des terres émergées est menacé par la désertification.

Description:
Roughly 1.5 billion people -- a quarter of the world's population -- depend directly on land that is being degraded as we speak. In dry areas, desertification is on the rise leading to loss in productivity. Yet millions of families across Africa and Asia rely on farming for sustenance. What can research do to help these communities?
