Yoque en el campo he nacido dig6 que mis cantos son para los unos
sonidos, y para otros intencion. H. Hernandes - Martin Fierro. The
period of active influence of the people on desert environments in
Central Asia counts more than 2,000 years. It includes several
stages of the social and the economic development of human society
- from primitive culture of hunters to developed modern society
with great changes of envi- ronment and "nature remaking".Heritage
of the past is one of the main causes of land degradation in
Central Asia.So, only historical analysis of relations between the
man and the desertcould give infor- mation for awareness of
desertification. What an idea have the people about the desert? In
the mind of many people "desert" is identified with a sterile,
lifeless and gloom land unsuitable for life. The mass media,
specially the cinema sup- ports this idea. Very popular subject of
many films is the death of travelers in the desert from thirst.
Eventhe names of hot winds (the "gibly" inSahara, the "samum"
inArabian desertand the "afganets" inCentral Asia) fill the minds
of peoplewith horror. There are many legends about armies buried
inthe sand,aboutflourishing oases and towns covered with sand
drifts. Inthese legends the truth is mixed with fiction. But as
known, "the truth isstronger than fiction".
