Desertification is creating additional challenges to the survival of endangered animal species in India, according to a senior wildlife official who attended the 14th Conference of Parties (COP14) to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) in New Delhi.
A few days earlier, at COP14 in New Delhi, Dr Chandra had said that the statistics on species extinction have been derived from a database of more than 5.6 million specimens, which have lived across India and the neighbouring countries since before independence. The deteriorating pattern in the species’ distribution in geo-special platforms over the past 100 years clearly highlights the concerning impact of deforestation and desertification.
Land degradation threatens species like the Great Indian Bustard, which is classified as “critically endangered” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The Weather Channel India got in touch with Dr Chandra, who said that less than 150 Great Indian Bustards are alive today. “Desertification and land degradation are among the 20-30 risk factors to the survival of Great Indian Bustards,” Dr Chandra told Weather.com.
In simple terms, desertification is a process wherein fertile land becomes unusable, typically as a result of a long drought, deforestation, salinisation, intensive agricultural practices, and the excessive usage of insecticides, pesticides and chemicals. Desertification leads to hazardous effects on not just animals, but also on the food chain and the overall biodiversity—right from microscopic organisms to human beings.
Deforestation has affected over 30% of the land in India due to over-cultivation, soil erosion and depletion of wetlands. Along with India, the planet as a whole currently stares at the fast-growing threat of land degradation.
