Desertification
Africa is at greater risk of desertification due to factors such as climate change, deforestation, and soil degradation. The Sahara Desert, the largest hot desert in the world, is expanding southward, resulting in the desertification of areas in Africa.
Countries in Africa that are particularly affected by desertification include Chad, Niger, Mali, Mauritania, and Sudan. These countries are situated in the Sahel region which is prone to desertification due to environmental and climatic factors such as drought, deforestation, and unsustainable land use practices.
