Depuis l'apparition des périodes de sécheresse en 1970, on observe l'instauration d'un climat plus aride sur l'ensemble du territoire, ainsi qu'une tendance à la diminution globale des pluies utiles et un déplacement des isohyètes de 200 Km vers le Sud. Ces conditions contribuent à fragiliser l'ensemble des écosystèmes et plus particulièrement ceux des zones sahélienne et sahélo-soudanienne. Elles ont conduit certaines populations, notamment les pasteurs, à migrer vers les zones plus riches et plus arrosées du Sud du pays.

Since the appearance of periods of drought in 1970, we have observed the establishment of a more arid climate throughout the territory, as well as a trend towards an overall reduction in useful rainfall and a displacement of isohyets of 200 km towards the South. These conditions contribute to weakening all the ecosystems and more particularly those of the Sahelian and Sahelo-Sudanian zones. They have led certain populations, in particular the pastoralists, to migrate towards the richer and more watered zones of the South of the country.
