Explanation:

• Expanding mining operations in arid regions can damage the soil and vegetation, accelerating desertification.
• Building more roads and highways in desert areas can disrupt the ecosystem and increase soil erosion.
• Increasing urbanization and industrialization often lead to more land degradation and resource consumption, worsening desertification.
• Planting more trees helps to fix the soil, prevent wind erosion, and improve the micro - climate. Sustainable farming methods like contour plowing, agroforestry can also maintain soil fertility and reduce soil loss, which are effective ways to combat desertification.

Answer:

Planting more trees and using sustainable farming methods.
