Sahel

description Sahel Overview

The Sahel is a broad semi-arid belt extending across Africa between the Sahara Desert to the north and wetter savannas to the south. It runs from the Atlantic region of Senegal and Mauritania eastward through countries including Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad, and Sudan. Rainfall is low and highly variable, making pastoralism and rain-fed agriculture vulnerable to drought, land degradation, and shifts in seasonal climate.
