Detailed Solution

About 28% of degraded land is forest degraded area. Approximately 28% of it is forest damaged, 56% is water eroded, and the remainder is affected by salty and alkaline deposits. Some human activities, such as deforestation, overgrazing, mining, and quarrying, have also greatly contributed to land degradation. The increasing population exerts high pressure on the environment. The increased need for resources has led to the over-exploitation and subsequent decline of available resources.
