The study therefore, will be very useful to a wide reading audience throughout the globe in general, and in the sub-Saharan countries, in particular, the place where land degradation and climate change is becoming an extremely sever and thereby researchers,proffesionals, academicians, students, and readers will find it interesting and hopefully it will stimulate for further research in the area of environment and development.
