The Land Degradation Assessment in Drylands (LADA)

The Land Degradation Assessment in Drylands (LADA) is a global initiative that monitors and evaluates land degradation in arid and semi-arid regions. It helps countries assess the health of their land resources, identify areas at risk of degradation, and develop strategies for sustainable land management. LADA uses scientific methods and community input to gather data, enabling better decision-making to protect ecosystems and livelihoods. By understanding land degradation, LADA aims to promote resilience in drylands, supporting both environmental sustainability and economic development.
