66. The subject of degradation of the marine environment from land based activities is complex.

The Global Environment Facility (GEF) attaches great importance to combating soil degradation.

There is, therefore, strong pressure on our natural resources and subsequent degradation of the environment.

There is growing concern about the degradation of the marine environment from land based activities.

This has put greater pressure on the natural environment and increased the risks of land degradation.

The prospects for development are also threatened by the staggering pace of the degradation of the environment.

. In its report of March 1992 to the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, the Department of Environment Affairs indicated that government policies under apartheid had aggravated environmental degradation.

24. Natural degradation hazards are conditions of the natural environment which lead to high susceptibility to degradation, such as steep slopes, rains of high intensity, strong leaching in humid regions and drought in dry regions.

Type of degradation

Hence in recent decades the proliferation of disasters in disadvantaged and ecologically fragile areas has compounded the sometimes unavoidable degradation of the environment.

2. Take all necessary steps to prevent, reduce and control degradation of the marine environment resulting from the adverse effects of human activities

(a) Status of land degradation types of degradation, their nature, severity and extent

The contamination and degradation of the environment is especially severe in the Gaza Strip, where the environmental problem has acquired crisis dimensions.

Because from a planning perspective, economic degradation begets environmental degradation, which begets social degradation.

III. CAUSES OF DEGRADATION

Type of land degradation

(i) Physical integrity To maintain and enhance the quality of landscapes, both urban and rural, and avoid physical and visual degradation of the environment

All our efforts will be in vain if their results are reversed by continued degradation of the environment and depletion of our natural resources.

The collaborative efforts which are being undertaken through a variety of programmes are aimed at reversing and halting the degradation of the African environment.

The investments required for desertification control tend to be greater because many African countries are facing a worsening degradation of their biophysical environment.
