International Desertification Research Centre

The International Desertification Research Centre is a specialized organization dedicated to studying and addressing desertification, which is the process of land becoming dry and degraded—often due to human activity and climate change. It conducts scientific research to understand the causes of desertification, develop sustainable land management practices, and promote strategies to prevent land degradation. By sharing knowledge and working with global partners, the Centre aims to protect vulnerable ecosystems, support local communities, and foster sustainable development in dry and semi-arid regions worldwide.
