Typical development in the American Southwest often resulted in scraping the desert lands of the ancient living landscape, to be replaced with one that is human-made and dependent on a large consumption of energy and natural resources. This transdisciplinary book explores the natural and built environment of this desert region and introduces development tools for shaping its future in a more sustainable way. It offers valuable insights to help promote ecological balance between nature and the built environment in the American Southwest-and in other ecologically fragile regions around the world.

Desertification is an urgent problem affecting regions in many parts of the world. It is estimated that nearly one quarter of the world's total land area is dry-land, excluding hyper-arid areas (deserts), and at risk from desertification. This document looks at Canada's commitment to the United Nations convention to combat desertification. It also includes a list of Canadian International Development Agency and International Development Research Centre approved projects relating to combating desertification, arranged by region, sub-region and country.
