| Résumé anglais |
The area of the Sahel is an environment facing various hazards. The severity of the present crisis results from the conjunction of both natural and anthropological factors : an unprecendented shortage of rainfall, overgrazing, a demographic explosion and the consequences of a modernisation of society which has forced nomads to become fixed settlers and led to uncontrolled urbanisation. To resolve this crisis, action needs to be taken in three areas : improve the management of water resources, control demographic growth and restore the vegetation cover.
