Reason:
1) DAMAGE vs DAMAGES (we cannot change from initial meaning - original sentence says DAMAGE as a global phenomenon rather than as 'multiple damages')
2) possessive : damages to REGION (possessive is adjective, ie extra information and therefore if we remove the adjective sentence should make sense; but it does not make sense; Possessive of inanimate things - generally avoid)
