(...) La surexploitation des ressources d’eau douce met en péril le bien-être humain et l’environnement, car, la dégradation des zones humides ébranle l’accès à l’eau salubre, la santé humaine, la production alimentaire, le développement économique et la stabilité géopolitique. Le présent projet concerne le complexe des zones humides de Guerbes-Sanhadja, d’une superficie de 42.100 hectares, situé sur la plaine littorale algérienne et caractérisée par une biodiversité riche et exceptionnels dans le bassin méditerranéens.

  2010–2020: UN Decade for Deserts and the Fight against Desertification

Drylands refer to arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas, and, in general, exclude deserts when referred to in the context of sustainable development. (...) Cropland dominates in the dry sub-humid areas. Poverty - Few Comforts in Life The livelihoods of more than 1 billion people in some 100 countries are threatened by desertification. (...) Arid & hyper-arid Semi-arid Dry sub-humid Humid Degradation 5% 9% 8% 78% Natural regeneration of vegetation cover and soils in arid areas takes 5-10 times longer than in favourable areas with greater and more regular rainfall.
