The human activities that cause desertification in the Sahel include:
- overfarming
- grazing large herds
- mining
Drilling for oil can also have environmental impacts, but it is not typically categorized directly as a cause of desertification in the same way as overfarming, overgrazing, and mining. Overfarming can deplete soil nutrients and exhaust land, while large herds can lead to overgrazing, which further degrades the land. Mining can disrupt land and contribute to desertification as well.
