		The effects of the shortfall in “diéri” crop production due to a combination of different factors (frequent dry spells, pest infestations, the untimely end of the rainy season) will be magnified by the poor performance of lowland crops and lower yields from irrigated and rainfed crops.
		The deteriorating conditions in livestock-raising areas as a result of overgrazing and wind erosion, which has contributed to the spreading of brush fires in the central part of the country (northern Brakna and Gorgol and central Trarza and Assaba), are extending into southern Brakna (Boghé, Bababé, Maghta Lahjar and Barkeol departments).
		Animals heading south from livestock-raising areas in the central part of the country (Tagant, northern Brakna and northern Trarza) have put added pressure on pasturelands in southern Trarza and Brakna and western Gorgol.
