Desertification in Rajasthan is primarily caused by a combination of deforestation, overgrazing, and climate change. Deforestation reduces vegetation cover, making the soil more vulnerable to erosion. Overgrazing by livestock further degrades the soil and prevents natural regeneration of vegetation. Climate change exacerbates the situation by causing erratic rainfall patterns and increasing temperatures, leading to drier conditions and increased evaporation.
