About this episode
Sub-Saharan Africa’s vibrant rainforests support communities, lives, and livelihoods. The drylands — which include grasslands, savannahs and scrublands — are just as important. But, many of these landscapes have become degraded, and are under threat.
Our reporter Michael Kaloki investigates what’s being done to rehabilitate and replenish Africa’s forests and drylands. Irene Ojuok, a champion of farmer managed natural regeneration, tells us about Africa’s sleeping underground forests, and we speak to the head of AFR100, Mamadou Diakhite, ahead of the Global Landscapes Forum’s digital conference Restoring Africa’s Drylands, on 2-3 June.
