Here are some of the environmental challenges that Africa is facing at the moment:
1. desertification: larger patches of African land are turning into deserts, which is obviously a huge problem because the vegetation of the continent is changing and disappearing
2. no access to water: many African nations have problems finding water in this arid country, which is a danger to their lives
3. population explosion: there are more and more Africans born, and there are not enough resources to sustain them all
