Drought and desertification have an impact on our lives.

We live in a time when water on Earth is becoming increasingly scarce. Water is required for all life on Earth to survive. As a result, the health and ability of the earth to produce food for us are equally important. However, over the previous centuries, the assets of drinkable water gradually depleted. It has now dropped to an alarmingly low level that has never been seen before. If current trends continue, the world will run out of water.

We live in an era when water is becoming increasingly scarce on Earth. Water is necessary for all life on Earth to survive. As a result, the earth's health and ability to produce food for us are equally important. However, the assets of drinkable water gradually depleted over the previous centuries. It has now dropped to an alarmingly low level never before seen. The world will run out of water if current trends continue.

Droughts are not only dangerous in developing countries but are becoming more common in developed areas as well. They are toxic to living organisms, especially humans. Due to the negative effects of the drought, humans must relocate from that area. Surviving and living a good life will be much more difficult otherwise. Our lands will soon become a dry desert if we do not address droughts quickly. The burden of finding suitable housing rather than living in drought-stricken areas has increased, hastening migration to other parts of the country, which governments with limited resources cannot bear.

It is time to support the UN initiative and join forces to prevent further deterioration of our land. Because for future generations, it could mean the difference between life and death. Otherwise, the coming years will be more difficult.
