摘要
荒漠中,人类文明正在消亡……
荒漠化是指气候异常和人类活动等因素造成的干旱、半干旱和亚湿润干旱地区的土地退化.地球陆地表面极薄的一层物质就是土壤层,它对于人类和陆生动植物生存极为关键.没有土壤层,地球上就不可能生长任何草木、谷物,不可能有森林或动物,也就不可能存在人类.
On June 17, 1994, 'United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification 'was passed for-mally in Paris. In order to commemorate this day, the United Na-tions General Assembly passes a resolution that determine the an-nual June 17 is 'World Day to Combat Desertification'. This year, it is the tenth World Day to Combat Desertification. The in-ternational theme is the 'social concern of desertification—immi-gration and poverty'.
