Title: June: Acacia Tree with Sunset
Description: Scarce vegetation is common in landscapes ravaged by desertification and drought. This Acacia senegal produces gum arabic, which is used for medicinal purposes by the local populations, and for cosmetics and food additives. Thus, the loss of drylands biodiversity is a threat to the well-being of the local inhabitants and the global community.
