TYPE OF PEOPLE IN DESERTInhabitants of the Kalahari Desert
The San people who inhabit the
Kalahari Desert in southern Africa have lived on this mostly
red-soiled desert for thousands of years. Although most now live as
farmers and cattle raisers, a small number of nomads still
subsist by gathering wild plants and fruit from the sparse
vegetation of the region and by hunting for meat.
PEOPLE IN NAMIB DESERT
The Namib Desert, stretching over 1900 km
(1200 mi) along the coast of Namibia in southwest Africa,
receives less than two inches of rain a year, as a result of the effects of the
cold Benguela Current. This region has sparse
vegetation and few people. The Namib Desert extends along the Atlantic Coast in Africa for 1,500 km (930 mi), mostly in Namibia.
PEOPLE IN SAHARA DESERT
Most of Niger’s population avoids the desolate Sahara Desert in the north of the
country, opting to live in the semiarid central region or the wetter, more fertile southern
region. Many people engage in subsistence farming, despite
the country’s mostly arid terrain. Groups of straw huts, such as the community seen here, dot the landscape, and their residents usually raise livestock or maintain small
farm plots.
PEOPLE IN GOBI DESERT
The largest desert in Asia, the Gobi straddles the border
between Mongolia and China. It contains a series of basins that are divided by low, flat-topped
ranges and isolated hills, as pictured here. The Gobi Desert,
located in Mongolia and northern China, is a windswept,
nearly treeless wasteland. It covers more than 1,300,000 sq km (500,000 sq mi) and ranks as the coldest, most northern
desert in the world. The terrain consists mostly of dry, rocky,
sandy soil. Only 5 percent of the desert is covered with sand
dunes.
