Abstract
Desertification is a disaster that reduces the biodiversity of a given environment, leading to the creation of a desert-like condition. This research aimed to identify the causes, effects and solutions to desertification in Batagarawa Local Government Area of Katsina State.

This consequently leads to a decrease in land productivity, high mortality in livestock population erosion activities among others. Afforestation was adopted as the main solution to desertification. It was recommended that solar cookers, electric stoves, improved wood stoves should be used and enforcement of stringent measures to protect the environment. Also, tree planting and awareness of desertification were recommended.   ...
