Rate of desertification in South Africa

Post by Prime »

I can't seem to find the geography textbook I had this information in.

Does anyone know how many kilometers of South Africa are becoming desert per annum. Google is not helping me tonight.

Try the State of the Environment Report'?

Maps hereand here

UN's Africa Review Report on DROUGHT AND DESERTIFICATION it's from 2007 but I don't think you'll find anything more recent. Might be wrong.

Hope it helps.

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.
