Desert Ecosystem
Deserts are dry, arid regions that receive very little rainfall, often less than 25 cm annually. Despite harsh conditions, deserts support a variety of life forms adapted to extreme temperatures and limited water.
Challenges
- Desertification due to overgrazing and deforestation
- Water scarcity and overuse of underground aquifers
- Climate change increasing desert expansion
- Habitat loss affecting biodiversity
Solutions
- Promote sustainable grazing and farming practices
- Use drip irrigation and water conservation techniques
- Plant drought-resistant vegetation to prevent erosion
- Raise awareness and implement policies to reduce climate impact
