What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Global Forest Watch quantified forest loss in Zabaykalsky Krai, noting the region is highly vulnerable to desertification. Research indicates that 64% of the region's arable land is subject to deflation, the process where wind strips fertile topsoil. Alexander Osipov reported that Zabaykalsky Krai lost 30% of its forest fund over the last three decades due to human activity and fire.
