Can Mexico Reclaim its Land Before it Turns to Dust?
Desertification and drought threaten Mexico, fueled by climate change and human actions. Traditional farming suffers, forcing rural youth to cities. This land loss weakens cultural heritage and risks turning fertile soil to dust.
Desertification and drought are acute problems in Mexico that generate poverty, especially affect vulnerable groups, especially in rural areas, and cause loss of cultural traditions; Therefore, it is necessary to become aware of the situation and implement clear actions to preserve the health of the soil, considers the expert from the Cuautitlán Faculty of Higher Studies, UNAM, Gustavo Mercado Mancera.
The specialist in management and preservation of natural resources highlights that today we realize that not only arid ecosystems are in danger, but also jungles, temperate forests and other environments face a process of desertification.
