Migration Patterns Due to Desertification in the Sahel

Quick fact

The Sahel has seen a 20% decline in rainfall since the 1970s, and desertification has already displaced an estimated 60 million people across the region, with projections of up to 200 million climate migrants by 2050.

Why this is interesting

Every year, millions of people in Africa's Sahel region pack up their lives and move—not because of war or economic opportunity, but because the land itself is turning to desert. What drives this quiet exodus?
