The Earth’s Furies: Desertification

Desertification threatens 40% of the earth’s land surface. Every year we lose 12 million hectares due to desertifcation, causing millions of people to abandon their homes.

Thanks to science, we now know how a desert is born and how the sand dunes move around. Can anything be done to reverse or delay this process?
