Deserts cover about a fifth of
the world's land area. The Kalahari
desert covers most of Botswana, parts of
Namibia and stretches into South Africa. It is one of the world's
largest deserts and it is four times the size of Britain.
In the daytime, it is extremely hot, but at night it is cold, The
Kalahari does not have many plants and most of the animals that
live there can survive underground. This is because of the heat
during the day, but they come out at night when it is cool.
However, the climate is changing and this desert does not have
as much rain as it did a few years ago Experts say that the wind is
becoming stronger, too. This means that the sand is moving around
and the desert is actually getting bigger. In fact, the sand might
soon cover large areas of farm land,
Unfortunately, this could
mean that the poorest
people might have an
even
time
surviving in the
desert. Most of
them might have
to move to a better
