The Thar Desert has seen a significant 38% annual increase in greening over the past two decades, primarily driven by enhanced monsoon rainfall and the expansion of agriculture. This change indicates a positive shift in the desert’s ecosystem, showing that, despite its arid nature, the region is experiencing notable vegetation growth. The greening trend is particularly significant as it is linked to both natural rainfall patterns and human activities, such as agricultural expansion. This process may help mitigate desertification and improve the region's biodiversity over time.
