Descripción de The World Bank - Climate Change - Niger:
Rakia gazes at the seemingly healthy millet stalks she planted during this year's short rainy season. A closer look at the millet heads reveals the crop did not mature, and the shells are empty of grain. "The rains betrayed us. They came and then they stopped," says Rakia, 35, a mother and millet farmer in a semi-arid Sahel region of Niger. The desert has been creeping into West Africa's Sahel for the last 30 years. Declining rainfall and overuse has taxed the land and brought drought and famine.
