This special issue on desertification grew out of a survey of the human causes and consequences of desertification sponsored by the United Nations Environment Program and the United Nations Fund for Population Activities. The basic group of contributors to this volume of 19 essays are geographers, but the viewpoints of other disciplines and data generated by their research activities are well represented. The initial cluster of essays measures the extent and identifies the process of desertification. A second group of profiles demonstrates the impact of desertification on a human scale. The final cluster examines the prospect for coping with desertification in the future, the experience gained thus far, and some of the creative alternatives that might be employed in the struggle against desertification
