Deforestation- Deforestation has a bad effect on the economy. It kills the country’s tourism, causes a decline in precipitation, which causes droughts, which means disruptions in cropping programs, kills livestock, all of this puts a bad effect on the economy. That means that businesses that produce livestock and produce, their business is dying because they are having to put a hold on their produce. Deforestation increases the demand for air conditioners, air purifiers and medical treatment, which in turn stimulates spending, which kills many companies that provide these services. It effects everything, and every organism. It affects the weather, which then affects the time it takes to get work complete, which affects how fast the money is coming in. Desertification- Desertification in Africa is a serious threat to its economy, food security and employment. About 50,000 farmers in about 100 villages scattered along the desert of Yobe are currently at risk of abandoning farming season. The dunes have covered alot of agricultural farmlands, oasis and ponds. There are about 7 states in Africa that are going through nothing different than Yobe. President Olusegun Obasanjo recently ordered one billion tree-seedlings to be planted and distributed to farmers over the next five years.
