Lands lost to desert may effectively be lost for ever, so
desertification is humanity's most obvious despoliation to the
planet. It is certainly one of the most serious environmental
problems facing the world today. In this book the author describes
what is happening and where. Although the problem is greatest in
developing countries, it is by no means confined to them.
Australia, Africa, the USA and India are all affected. In the 1970s
an international Plan of Action was drawn up to bring the
phenomenon under control, but it was never implemented. Now that
the situation is more serious than ever before, this book urges new
action and describes many of the myriad ways in which it is
possible to arrest the progress of desertification. It describes,
too, not just the failures, but the considerable successes that
have been achieved. Originally published in 1990
