Tharparker Desert the Only Fertile Desert in the World
The Tharparker Desert, located in Pakistan, stands out as the only fertile desert in the world. Despite its arid conditions, it supports a unique ecosystem that allows for the growth of various plant species.
The desert covers an area of 19,637 km² and is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna adapted to the desert climate.
The region experiences limited rainfall, which poses challenges for the inhabitants, particularly in accessing water for basic needs. Historically, the Thar region was fertile before its desertification between 2000 BCE and 1500 BCE.
Today, the Tharparker Desert remains a testament to the resilience of life in extreme environments, with its inhabitants practicing agriculture during the brief rainy season.
