Extreme environments. Drought
Description
When prolonged droughts occur, the consequences (particularly for those who work and live off the land) are extreme. Typically drought affected areas such as the Horn of Africa are suffering severe drought bought on by seasonal changes, climate change, political troubles and population increases. Those worst affected by droughts are reduced to eating boiled flowers and the negative effects of severe droughts are felt for generations.
