Identify and describe two environmental challenges facing Africa. Which challenge do you think needs the most immediate attention? Why?

Here are some of the environmental challenges that Africa is facing at the moment:

1. desertification: larger patches of African land are turning into deserts, which is obviously a huge problem because the vegetation of the continent is changing and disappearing

2. no access to water: many African nations have problems finding water in this arid country, which is a danger to their lives

3. population explosion: there are more and more Africans born, and there are not enough resources to sustain them all
