Project ID 2210212041

The convergence of increased climatic shocks and continued deterioration of the fragile Sahel environments present a challenge of significant scale as most countries and the poorest segments of society have a high dependency on natural resources and livestock for their livelihood. In arid zones, dry spells and droughts lead to increased pressures on the already fragile environment thus impacting ecosystem sustainability. UNESCO's biosphere reserves and Geo-Parks offer good demonstration sites for solutions to these challenges and ecohydrology can be used to advance ecological and hydrological understanding that could be used to enhance the overall integrity of ecosystems.
