Every day Africa’s forests are disappearing at an alarming rate. Scientists say that cutting trees leads to deforestation and this eventually leads to extreme weather conditions including floods and drought. Deforestation also deprives people of their livelihoods. In this edition, four African climate change experts discuss why it is important for us to protect our trees and what would happen if we continue cut down our forest cover in Africa.

Our guests this week are: Dr. Rosalind Reeve (Kenya), Momodu Bah (Sierra Leone), Ewah Otu Eleri (Nigeria) and Nene Mainzana (DR Congo)

Producer: Winnie Onyimbo
