Desertification Assessment and Mitigation Programme

The Desertification Assessment and Mitigation Programme is an initiative aimed at understanding and combating the process where fertile land gradually becomes desert, often due to factors like drought, deforestation, or improper land use. It involves evaluating areas at risk, identifying causes, and implementing strategies—such as planting vegetation, sustainable farming, or water management—to restore and protect land resources. The goal is to prevent land degradation, support local communities, and maintain ecological balance, ensuring land remains productive and sustainable for future generations.
