a country that still bears the scars of the civil war and to be a potent force initially three grains piled on by climate change were thought to be the cold but then other stories emerged of corruption greed and environment degradation weeping to ask what stock warnings of catastrophe orignal. the past decade has seen a rise in the number of catastrophic weather events around the world. be it freak

storms or drives or unprecedented rainfall extreme weather is becoming the new normal a no where are the effects felt more keenly than in developing nations. from bangladesh to peru and sierra leone to the dior sea record breaking rains have triggered devastating floods and lethal landslides. among them the landslide that struck sierra leone in august two thousand and seventeen it was one of the deadliest with over a thousand people killed or missing. but was this disaster all it seems one more portent of the havoc that climate change will be sending our way. or was it compounded by other more prosaic human failings. we've been to investigate the root causes of the serio landslide. to ask what can be learned and what the future holds for this and other countries if those in power fail to act.

on a. good girl simple actions good story sky. sports icon which. was four dollars. on the morning. of aug fourteenth two thousand and seventeen after days of heavy rain the side of the sugarloaf mountain in region to sierra leone collapsed the avalanche of mud water and rock that followed destroyed three hundred homes and killed over a thousand. more divestiture. is the maids.

i don't remember even the wall when for a single day one thousand one hundred people died in two minutes there was a big sound. like a plane coming down you know that goes on with you wasn't easy to get where i live in the the ground by brits and i'm. what i'm if i'm in it if i do get me someone get me but if no one's. six weeks later the rains have come to an end and people are resuming their lives. but not everyone thinks heavy rainfall alone cools the disaster. not far from the site of the landslide in the hills around regent stuns the taku gamma chimpanzee sanctuary. for over twenty years tucker gamma has been

a haven for chimps orphaned by habitat destruction and the illegal to trade. but for the past decade the centuries finder. has been fighting a different one that has implications for people as well as wildlife. always looking good. to them they come here and we have. them back mentally and physically and will form them into a felony and. closure so they have given a second chance to life and their slaves. yes. the law is on the border of the western area national park it's a seventy square mile stretch of mountainous rainforest adjoining the capital

founded more than a century ago the park is home to ninety percent of sierra leone's biodiversity including while chimpanzees and numerous endangered species. it is this forest and its wildlife the bow and his team of forest rangers have been fighting to protect feed this line here there was a caterpillar that was trying to come in all the way and we stopped it at that point for people but then it's like going to need this fire fighting. move then after one two month the attempt again this is how they his looked historically and that is how they should be preserved for many reasons and we. help protect this forest is going to come down one day and that's what happened that we have been warning about this landslide all potential for something like big discussed like that for the last say ten fifteen years. for the collapse of the sugarloaf was

triggered by rampant deforestation and illegal building. for over a decade he warned the government of the damage being done to the hills around free time he took his message to local radio and television and even planted trees in the area. in the last three times a documentary produced a decade ago appeared alongside local architects and urban planners calling on the government to control unplanned building and environmental damage around the city. with the war situation we had everything stopped for many many years so i think this suddenly it is this thursday everyone wants to believe deeply want to come back to say that you and those who left. that is a huge. demand for that are seeing the building code as rebuilt simply ignore the ones i believe nobody has ever got to the some of the quotes. we

obviously slide down the mountain government you learn slips it's an environmental disaster it will in a few years we will see over the course of. the warnings were dire. but no one listened. patrolling the bindery of the national park today takes power and his team to the site of the landslide where one of their guard posts once stood. a year before the disaster it was burnt down by angry locals determined to build houses in the area to mistaken the lawyer but make you feel see the only way. you come here look at it what i see is not the top i'm imagining what is underland so many people perished we actually standing on top of it was really basically because it was literally missile to be released like all of the of the people the problem was not cost here the problem

was caused by the ground that you can see this landscape a lot of rock when you have this rock you have little soil in there and is the trees that's where the roots are spreading into these areas around the rocks and that is holding everything together and once you cut the tree basically little to stem dice that means there is nothing holding these rocks again soil is already lose it's becoming like dust and once you have the heavy downpours and it's all based basically taking it away then the rocks are being exposed. we're playing games with people slice if you ask me really it's going to hurt again it will hurt the. architects millions scarboro and quinn journey alan return to free time at the end of syrian civil war and find a city where the rule book could be in front at the window. like they warned of the dangers the city faced. truly remarkable what is happening. just

post a whole post war. small area that opened up totally unplanned . three hundred home. were destroyed in the region planned slight. but the collapse of the hillside didn't just destroy the houses beneath us. he created a mudslide an avalanche of water earth and stone that swept downhill towards the sea. the houses that stood in its way were built in floodplains were close to water courses areas normally classed as high risk when i got to know it would i want to be with. you. now maybe you did it you're grounded or well being get away. with the family or die a. little tin shack there has been built into the side of the hill and the earth is

left exposed will rain come in will cause that slope to fail if you have houses like this it would all of them would just be going collaterally despite the disaster when in manila find the area around the landslide a hive of building activity. with laborers rushing to meet the demand for new houses this is the trade notice selling these broken aggregates to whosoever will. only pull the stuff. so that to give the story from the riverbed here you can see that bridge is been eroded and this obviously have taken stones from out there that is going to collapse eventually through ignorance we were wrecking the landscape. look the height. none of these houses should have been built in this vicinity

a cult. is a mishmash of houses placed on the hill it will be interesting to find out if any of this. houses here and sharks have. a building permits but those we spoke to around the landslide site did have paperwork including conveyances site surveys and building permits all stamped and signed by the ministry of lands it's very painful it brings heaviness in my heart to see that we do have people in so who know what to do who would advise governments on how to proceed but if if if that is ignored then what's. the risk no silver bullets that would have prevented the region's landslide. not everyone thinks low.
