Hello Isaac, thanks for sharing a good news of Ghana to combat drought and desertification! I recommend you to have a look at relative reports and news provided UNFCCC in the field of drought and famine problem in African countries, it would help you compare the information you get from WDCDD!
Thanks for your report!

Hello Isaac, desertification is one big problem that we are facing today.
Desertification results in the loss of habitats and trees which acts as carbon storage. These losses trigger more damage in the whole eco-system accelerating environment destruction.
Land has value, invest in it!
Thanks for letting us know :)

Thanks for writing about world day to combat desertification and drought. I personally didn't know it exists. Thanks to this platform, I'm learning a lot.

I think it is amazing that there is a day to prevent desertification and drought. I really agree on the quote, 'Land has value, invest in it'. Land is the place where we get to grow a large number of food and if we don't protect it, we will have less food and cause their price to sky-rocket.

Well reported Isaac, combating desertification and drought by engaging policy makers to invest in sustainable land and upscaling sustainable land management is indeed a great step made by Ghana.
