Iraq Faces Widespread Desertification
Reports indicate that more than half of Iraq is threatened by desertification, with approximately 96.5 million dunams of land at risk—representing 55.5% of the total area. The area of desertified land has increased to 40.4 million dunams (23.2%). Factors such as declining water flows, climate change, and rising temperatures are causing environmental deterioration, leading to the migration of farmers and a decline in agricultural activity, especially in the provinces of Dhi Qar, Maysan, Al-Muthanna, and Al-Diwaniyah. This situation is accompanied by the deterioration of the marshes and a decline in fishery resources.
