http://environmentsolutions.wordpress.com/2007/08/14/greening-the-sahara-to-reverse-desertification This is a good place to look at desertification solutions and what you can do to help. Citation: Expansion and Contraction of the Sahara Desert from 1980 to 1990 COMPTON J. TUCKER, HAROLD E. DREGNE, and WILBUR W. NEWCOMB (19 July 1991) Science 253 (5017), 299. [DOI: 10.1126/science.253.5017.299]. This is a report that I found which was very useful in learning about the expansion of the Sahara. http://www.junglewalk.com/animal-pictures/636/Addax-6490.jpg A nice picture of the addax (Hopefully this wont just be a memory) http://library.thinkquest.org/28855/pictures/saharascorpion.jpg Saharan scorpion picture

"Sahara's Abrupt Desertification Started By Changes In Earth's Orbit, Accelerated By Atmospheric And Vegetation Feedbacks." ScienceDaily 12 July 1999. 12 May 2008 This is where I learned the origin of the Sahara's desertification.

"Sahara dust cooling North Atlantic." Copyright 2007 by United Press International. Science Online. Facts On File, Inc. BCS 181, Brooklyn NY, (accessed May 2, 2008). This site is where I learned about how the Sahara creates hurricanes, but there are many more science and weather related articles on this site. "The people of the Sahara", Brown G. Edward, Science Webs. BCS 181 www.sciencewebs.com, accessed May 8th, 2008. Besides the people of the Sahara, this site has information also on the peoples of sub saharan Africa, and many other world cultures. “Terrestrial Ecoregions: The Sahara”, World Wildlife Fund, BCS 181. http://www.worldwildlife.org/wildworld/profiles/terrestrial/pa/pa1327_full.html, accessed May 12, 2008. This has a nice overview about the Sahara desert, and I got my info about the flora and fauna mainly from here. P.S. If you want to help slow desertification, this organization is a good cause to join.
