Chinguetti, a historic and sacred site in Islam, holds immense cultural value with ancient manuscripts preserving knowledge in science, math, and history. However, this treasure is at risk due to desertification, rising temperatures, and extreme weather. The Sahel region is warming 1.5 times faster than the global average, threatening Chinguetti's heritage.
