Question

Is temporary migration a common phenomena in dryland regions? If so then when? India

Answer 1

Migration is one of the variety of ways by which human populations adapt to environmental changes. The study of migration in the context of anthropogenic climate change is often approached using the concept of vulnerability and its key functional elements: exposure, system sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. This article explores the interaction of climate change and vulnerability through review of case studies of dry-season migration in the West African Sahel, hurricane-related population displacements in the Caribbean basin, winter migration of ‘snowbirds’ to the US Sun-belt, and 1930s drought migration on the North American Great Plains. These examples are then used as analogues for identifying general causal, temporal, and spatial dimensions of climate migration, along with potential considerations for policy-making and future research needs.

With the rise of scientific evidence of anthropogenic climate change, increasingly detailed scientific inquiries have been made into potential future climatic influences on global migration patterns.1–8 Environmental changes, of which climate variability and change represent one set of examples, have long been recognized as having the potential to influence human migration and settlement patterns. However, migration outcomes rarely emerge in a simple stimulus-response fashion, but are instead modified and shaped by the interaction of environmental changes or events with human social, economic, and cultural processes.6,9 In the field of climate change research, interactions between climate and migration are increasingly situated within the context of human vulnerability to climate change, which is in turn identified as being a function of exposure to the impacts of climate change, the sensitivity of communities or socioeconomic systems to such impacts, and the capacity of those exposed to adapt.10

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, temporary migration is a common phenomenon in dry land regions because of its non-availability of livelihood.

Explanation:

In long dry area region, peoples are suffered from non availability of foods and job, so they temporarily migrated from one place to another. Like, Nomadic Herders are migrated frequently with their cattles. Birds and animals are temporarily migrated from continent to continent.

For example, during winter season, many Siberian birds are migrated from Arctic and Russia to southern India, after winter they again migrated to their original place. But some animals like Polar bears are not migrated in winter season they are in their hibernation stage when non availability of food.
