INTRODUCTION
Particularly Africa and 110 countries of the world
are affected by desertification and drought at first
degree because of drought, incorrect land use and
rural poverty. Our country also takes part among
countries which are affected by desertification.
Although there are no any deserts in Turkey, Turkey
is one of the leading countries in the world in the
activities of combating desertification and erosion.
On the grounds of this reason, our country is appreciated by international agencies due to its success
in the works of afforestation and combating desertification and erosion.
Infertility of soils and desertification underlie many
socio-economic challenges such as food storage at
first , immigration, terrorism and poverty which are
experienced in Africa. Basic solution for problems
in Africa is to increase agents’ capacity and to train
people on how degraded soils can be fertile and
how existing forests can be used in a sustainable
way with afforestation works.
General Directorate of Combating Desertification
and Erosion Control and General Directorate of Forestry within Ministry of Forestry and Water Affairs
are transparent and notable agencies which are respectful to human, nature and environment.
