1/4 of the surface of the Earth is the desertified land. Desertification has become more serious environmental problems of our planet, and the fight against desertification is indeed a major task in the world today. This is why June 17 was named by the United Nations as the International Day for the fight against desertification and drought.
What problems of civilization which are in the case of desertification? What civilization will be destroyed or re-established in desertified areas? Civilization is indeed a harmony of biosystem. Elements such as land, water, forests, air and human form an interactive relationship chain, the desertification is a result caused by actions that destroy the relationship of biosystem.

We consume, we throw out. But what happens to our more
bulky waste? All around the world, we depart to encounter
these atypical cemeteries where land our scrap heaps. Trains,
boats, planes, tanks... Their huge carcasses pile up over
acres, creating apocalyptic landscapes of monstrous beauty.
Ecological disasters for some, works of art for others, one thing
is certain, they leave no one indifferent.
All of these wrecks announce the end of the post-industrial
era and consumerism as we know it. In ‘1000 years’, the rare
cemeteries preserved will be the Necropolises of our 20th
century society. Veritable testimonial museums of a post-
industrial past.
