Sahel are altering ecosystems

The Sahel region has a complex impact on regional biodiversity due to its unique ecological characteristics and the pressures it faces. (5) The Sahel features diverse habitats, including savannas, grasslands, and desert ecosystems. This variety supports different species adapted to harsh conditions, including plants, mammals, birds, and insects. Increasing temperatures and changing rainfall patterns in the Sahel are altering ecosystems. Droughts and irregular rainfall can lead to habitat degradation and loss, affecting species survival and migration patterns. Human activities, such as agricultural expansion and deforestation for firewood, reduce natural habitats and fragment ecosystems. This results in decreased habitat availability for many species and can lead to local extinctions สล็อต
