Environmental issues are desertification, deforestation and pollution due to industrialisation. Other causes include erosion, desertification, and deforestation. Usable land may become less useful through salinization, deforestation, desertification, erosion, and urban sprawl. Environmental organizations work in places where deforestation and desertification are contributing to extreme poverty. Mongolia is an area affected by desertification due to overgrazing. This climate change caused lakes and rivers to shrink significantly and caused increasing desertification. This plan was created as an effort to combat desertification, biodiversity, and climate change. This helps to control soil salinity and prevent desertification. Rising levels of salinity and desertification in some areas is ravaging the landscape. Global food security is being threatened by desertification and overpopulation. Livestock production is a contributing factor in species extinction, desertification, and habitat destruction. Historical research has also found limited evidence of expanding grassland degradation and desertification in Ningxia. Overpopulation is one of the most dangerous factors contributing to desertification. This has led to severe consequences desertification, flooding and endangering of wildlife. Climate change has also been found to be a factor in habitat loss and desertification.
