So this article is about the changes surrounding the dry lands, defined as places with a scarcity of water, which included deserts and savannah. The ecologist interviewed says the effects of climate change on the dry lands of Africa are not getting as much attention as they need from the global conscious.

He argues while the plants of the dry lands are hardy by nature, between the rising temperature and the increased number of grazing animals, they are under threat. He does have a quick fix called grazing management. The basic premise is to limit the amount of animals grazing and to pay the pastoralists for the lessened number of animals they get to graze.

Dry lands tend to do well in droughts. Africa has a severe one every century or so. The thing about dry lands is while they do well during droughts, much better than wetter lands, they don't bounce back as quickly as their wetter neighbors. Like every other renewable resource, it takes some time and nothing will change what hasn't changed in billions of years.
