DROUGHT DISASTERS AND ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE DURING PAST 30 YEARS IN AFRICA |
| |
| Abstract: | A number of very serious drough disasters occurred in many regions of Aftica during past 30 years. It is commonly considered that they are among the most serious disasters after the World War II. The basic situation of the droughs and drough disasters are introduced briefly, and the main causes resulting 1i drought disasters are analysed in the paper. The lack of rainfall is one of the factors producing the drough disasters in Africa, but it is not the real one. From environmental viewpoints, the drough disasters in Africa resulted from unsuitable land use and management by man, and in essence they are the results of man-made environmental disturbance. Finally, the strategy for preventing drought disasters in Africa is suggested. |
