Desertification world day

Enhancing soils anywhere enhances life everywhere

Alghero, June 17 The slogan “Enhancing soils anywhere enhances life everywhere", coined by UNCCD for the International Year for the biodiversity is aimed to sensibilize the general public about desertification, soil degradation and drought and the possible damages on the biodiversity. On the national territory have been individuated some regions more at risk such as Basilicata, Calabria, Puglia, Sardegna and Sicilia. In Italy the desertification is linked with the presence of some areas characterized by ‘fragiles” ecosystems, very vulnerable.
