LADA Dryland Degradation Assessment Project

Formally, the MA definition encompasses all lands where the climate is classified as dry sub humid, semi arid, arid or hyper arid.

Reasserting its commitment to promoting desertification control, eradicating extreme poverty, promoting sustainable development in arid, semi arid and dry sub humid areas and improving the livelihoods of people affected by drought and or desertification,

A programme has been launched by one other country with the support of the International Crop Research Institute for the Semi Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and the International Programme for Arid Land Crops (IPALAC) in order to develop new farming methods and practices in arid areas.

And those are the dry land species.

LADA Dryland Degradation Assessment Project

The establishment of the IUCN drylands specialists task force and the Arid Lands Initiative stimulated the realization of cross regional, subregional and national activities to improve dryland management and sustainable use of its biodiversity.

Efforts in the field of genetic research are focused on the development of conventional cereal, tree and other plant varieties which are suited to drought and the special conditions found in arid and semi arid zones.

Closer cooperation has been sought with specialized organizations that deal with drought, agricultural production and productivity in drylands.

Committee on Science and Technology

Some Parties proposed developing national drought policies to mitigate the adverse impacts of periodic droughts and indicated their need for a warning system to monitor the effects of drought.

The Arab Center for the Studies of Arid Zones and Dry Lands (ACSAD), in cooperation with Remote Sensing in the Arab World, established the Arab Desertification Monitoring and Assessment Network (ADMANET).

Among the technology options for rural sanitation, for example, dry latrines conserve water, offering particular benefits in arid or drought prone areas.

That's what drought does.

But in actual fact, the society continues to countenance practices that are a form of physical and moral violence against women.

Gravely concerned at the magnitude of the current drought, which may affect up to fifteen million people owing to the serious crop failures in drought prone parts of the country that have weak infrastructures and low development capacities,

Gravely concerned at the magnitude of the recurrent drought, which affects millions owing to the serious crop failures in drought prone parts of the country that have weak infrastructures and low development capacities,

Desertification is defined by the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification as land degradation in arid, semi arid and dry sub humid areas resulting from various factors, including climatic variations and human activities .

Concerned by the recurrent drought, which still affects millions owing to the serious crop failures in drought prone parts of the country and the pastoralist areas that have weak infrastructures and low development capacities,

More targeted initiatives are being carried out in some countries to develop unconventional varieties of cereals and other plant varieties suited to drought and the specific conditions of arid and semi arid areas.

Concerned by the recurrent drought, which still affects millions owing to the serious crop failures in drought prone parts of the country and the pastoralist areas that have weak infrastructures and low development capacities,

The discussion covered various issues, such as Convention synergies, drought management, governance, rural land use practices, and the integration of drought mitigation into investment planning and science and technology for drought mitigation.

During the dry season, we had four hours of water every fourth day.

We're going to the dry season now.

The new kit labelled A creative approach to environmental education in drylands and highlands will be targeted at primary and secondary schools in dryland and mountainous countries.

A joint publication has been issued with the UNCCD secretariat entitled Extractive Industries in Arid and Semi Arid Zones Planning and Management which gives details of the problems associated with extractive industries in arid and semi arid lands and suggestions as to how these activities could be managed in order to promote the maintenance of the ecosystems where they are taking place.
