Identify and describe two environmental challenges facing Africa. Which challenge do you think needs the most immediate attention? Why?

Answer:

Two major environmental challenges facing Africa are desertification and water scarcity. Desertification degrades farmland through drought, overgrazing, and unsustainable farming. Water scarcity results from drought, uneven rainfall, pollution, and increasing demand. Water scarcity needs the most immediate attention because access to clean water is essential for health, sanitation, farming, and preventing famine.
