Abstract

Sahelian Chad is facing significant desertification challenges due to climate change and unsustainable land management practices. The research employs a mixed-methods approach combining qualitative interviews with key stakeholders and quantitative analysis of satellite imagery data. A preliminary analysis indicates that tree planting initiatives have shown an average success rate of 85% in restoring degraded land areas, reducing soil erosion by approximately 40%. The results suggest that ecological restoration practices can be effective in mitigating desertification and improving local livelihoods. Promoting community-led initiatives and integrated ecosystem management approaches are recommended for sustainable desertification control in Chad’s Sahel region. The empirical specification follows $Y=\beta_0+\beta^\top X+\varepsilon$, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.
