The cosmic star formation rate, active galactic nuclei activity, galaxy growth, mass assembly and morphological differentiation all culminate at redshift z ~ 2. Yet, the redshift interval 1.4 < z < 3 is harder to explore than both the closer and the more distant Universe. In spite of so much action taking place in this spacetime portion of the Universe, it has been dubbed the “redshift desert”, as if very little was happening within its boundaries. The difficulties encountered in properly mapping the galaxy populations inhabiting the desert are illustrated in this paper, along with some possible remedies.
