"… environmental degradation encourages powerful elites within a society to shift resource distribution in their favor and therefore operate to extend control over productive resources, in a process of “resource capture” and consequently displace peasants and subsistence farmers into ecological marginalization. This unequal resource access may result in the scenario that some ethnic groups will not be able to sustain their basic existence any longer.”
Given the complexity of the problem of desertification, emphasis must be placed on the creation of an "enabling environment", which might include: good governance, legal and administrative reform, economic incentives, improved infrastructure, and adjustments to natural resource management practices.
