    million ha (approximately 27.6 percent of its total surface

    individuals, to societies, and to the environment. This
    book, edited by Lelia Croitoru and Maria Sarraf, makes these
    costs clear by examining a number of studies carried out
    over the past few years by the World Bank's Middle East
    and North Africa region. Even more important than estimating
    the monetary cost of environmental degradation (COED),
    however, are the clear guidance and policy implications
