Sahel Region
The Sahel Region is a semi-arid zone in Africa that stretches across the continent from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the Red Sea in the east. It lies between the Sahara Desert to the north and the Savanna to the south, covering parts of several countries, including Mali, Niger, and Chad. The region is characterized by a mix of grasslands, shrubs, and occasional trees, making it vulnerable to desertification and climate change.
The Sahel is home to diverse cultures and communities, primarily relying on agriculture and livestock for their livelihoods. However, it faces challenges such as food insecurity, political instability, and environmental degradation. Efforts are ongoing to promote sustainable development and improve living conditions for the millions of people who inhabit this vital region.
