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 harder time surviving in the desert. Most of them might have to move to a better place.
