ENVIRONMENTAL
desertification (causes land to become
unsuitable for growing vegetation) happening
around IDP camps. refugees stripping land
of vegetation to use as fuel- soil becomes
more exposed to wind & rain & is eroded
away
refugees putting increased
pressure on local resources,
use available firewood &
cause deforestation
polluting water
sources (poor waste
disposal
infrastructure)
uncontrolled deforestation
taking place groups participate
in logging to fund conflict & for
construction.
