ABSTRACT
The first part of this paper will show how wind action becomes a damaging process in soil erosion and one of the most efficient mechanisms of land degradation. The second part will present actions and simple means to combat wind erosion and halt natural resource destruction, mainly short term curative measures for tackling a most severe environmental problem. Medium term measures, oriented towards the eradication of root causes of environmental degradation, are more difficult to apply because they concern socio-economical aspects of environmental problems.
