The primary negative effect of climate change as concerns Sahelian Africans is DESERTIFICATION. The Sahel region is known for being semi-arid, but relatively conducive to low-scale farming. However, as the temperature in the Sahara Desert rises, compounded by unsustainable levels of farming, the topsoil in the northern parts of the Sahel is eroding and drying out. As a result, the desert is expanding and making it impossible for people to maintain their agricultural economies with infertile soil. In some cases entire towns and villages have been vacated since the people can no longer survive there.
