That is, it was fifty thousand years ago, and desertification became a dangerous phenomenon due to the environmental, economic and social dimensions it carries in the world in general.

International organizations and bodies rushed to hold conferences, studies and agreements on this phenomenon and completed the first map of desertification by United Nations bodies in 1977 with the convening of the United Nations Desertification Conference in Nairobi, Kenya in (1986) and in (2000) the International Conference to Combat Desertification was held in a Bonn, Germany, Dinah participated in this conference Twenty Arab countries and this reflects the anxiety experienced by all the Arab countries, without exception, from the encroachment of the desert and the resulting social, cultural, environmental and economic impacts, and even political and security Desertification, in its general sense, is a natural phenomenon that accompanies the lack of rainfall and high temperatures and evaporation.
