Resumen
Descripción
Turkey is located at the intersection of Europe, Asia and Africa in an arid and semi-arid region with a rich biological diversity. It has been home to various civilisations since the first human settlements and agricultural practices applied throughout history have intensified degradation of Turkish soils. Due to its topography, water erosion is one of the primary issues, and the country is highly vulnerable to desertification and drought. Degradation seriously affects its forests, steppes and wetlands. However, Turkey has accumulated significant knowledge and experience on combating land degradation and has effectively applied soil conservation, afforestation, and rehabilitation activities, providing useful tools and methodologies for the region.
