Desertification a serious concern in Namibia. By: Joseph Sheefeni

Desertification has become a serious concern in Namibia with overgrazing and extensive clearing of land being the main contributors. This came to light at the commemoration of the World day to Combat Desertification in Windhoek, organized by the @ Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Forestry. At the occasion, the United Nation highlighted that due to less farming land in rural areas, 50% of Namibians now live in urban areas, which places stress on local government resources.
