the children who have already been there. and those that will follow are part of a new. they could be the future. granting opportunities that matters to me. this is news africa coming up in the next 15 minutes displaced and distressed we have an exclusive report from moscow with plenty of birds men who played ethnic violence now live on the landfill. award winning environmentalist who's fighting against illegal logging in uganda as a result of forest despite threats to his life.

hello i'm kristie want to welcome to news africa it's good to have you along mali has been battling a 7 year long insurgency which has seen geodes take control of large parts of the country well that's one aspect of the fighting and the other is interest violence and that has seen thousands of people their homes some have been displaced within mali and as you're about to see they're being forced to live in comp. it's only a stone's throw from here to downtown but only a short ride from the bustle of the city to this camp but it may as well be on a different planet many in the city say they are unaware of this camp for displaced full and hurts men built on a waste dump this is definitely not the home or anybody would want to live for anybody should live yet it has become the home of more than 1000 people who fled

from interethnic violence in central mali and yes this is their home on a landfill full of waste and their homes out also made of waste the smoke that you see around me is because of the waste that's being burnt around them. the smell is overpowering people burn waits to clear a little space creating thick smoke drifts through this site. from here we will file a complaint against the government this can't work like this it's not ok to leave trash here if you have trash you how are you supposed to keep healthy this is not easy or. prophecy. to do closer to home to the muslim and the camp receives occasional donations of food and water every day the children play in the trash the threat of disease is constant. this woman is 63 like everyone here she fled from

a region in central mali when the violence broke out. but i do and i'm living with her mother and her newborn they are sick i used to have a good life there we lost everything and came here. she says her village was burned by people farmers who fight the flooding over land and access to food. i want to find out from the government if there is plan in place to help these people but they insist they don't even know that the camp exists. i haven't seen anyone living in a waste dump and telling you honestly if i said i had seen and when i would be telling a lie i saw people in tents yes well arranged nice tents a temporary shelter been a minute. the mullion government is busy trying to distinguish different fires at once expanding islamist militancy and ethnic violence. so.

the whole challenge needs a global response not just a mali in one. if they cannot come up with a plan together then the whole chinese state that it is. people in just one of many makeshift camps across mali living in a dire situation 1000000 government says it can't even begin to address on as there is peace. our next story takes us to uganda where an environmental hero leslie is risking his life to save a tropical forest 4 years ago he created an organization to help protect a forest in a jewel money northwest uganda he is determined to continue his fight for it not to disappear. to my knees visitation and the strict.

this research ecosystem belongs to the congo based in tropical rain forests the 2nd lung on the earth just after the amazon but it's and then just. if we give it a decade for mo i don't think there wouldn't be a quest to sustain and then life in niger money because as i speak no they way they imagine one exhibit on the commission vantage point called records of the streams drying up even in the rainy seasons you don't get the streams but it's not just climate change illegal logging and a high demand for chuckles are responsible for most of the destruction of the forest is that we know you know for. a month good will created the organisation friends of zocor in 2015 to document and report with traffickers to the authorities in 4 years he says little action that's taken place. by the time we are coming to

realize these kind of abuses of 60 percent of the forest was called a north wind event of us giving our life to protect the people involved and you could make the military did police and a powerful business possible 90000 sunday they still be all kept on doing daily guided and carving timber trafficking has taken its toll on our minds it was life but to save the forest the environmental activist is ready to risk it the old. one of the most prominent telling this i face in my walkies and. physically. i have faced aquatinted in my doubts because he's being investigated by police my house has been broken into for 4 times on the record i used to ring it's more room in kampala that i've been broken into twice i had to shift to another place

speckles also broken into. all the sacrifices are worth it when it comes to say the trees that's make or planted trees. but i germany is just a small part of the bigger picture when it comes to the conservation of africa's forests zeek it was like a forest is a tiny fragment of the huge tract of rain forest that stretches from uganda in the east all the way to cameroon in the west now the bonn on the atlantic coast is still home to largely untouched forests which the country is determined to preserve . i am now joined by the white he is gone so minister off forest ocean environment and climate change welcome to date of the africa professor say you have just come into office he came in in june really because of the misdeeds off your predecessor what exactly had happened there was a bit of a scandal with corruption in the forestry sector and.

illegal which showed up in court. when the president was obliged to remove the vice president. previous from the list through forestry complicity so one of my jobs is to clean up the forestry sector in your book while some of the main challenges that you off a saying in ensuring that you can protect this environment my 1st job is is to make sure that all of the forestry in goal is sustainable while the it is president president so he took the decision to make certification obligatory for all forestry companies at this she said because she from but she 22 onwards so we're putting in place a series of measures that will make forestry transparent and will guarantee that forestry is not only good for the economy but it's good for wildlife and

biodiversity it's good for the climate and it's good for the people that live in the forests. and that's actually not i don't think that difficult a job and and in fact the other parts of my might show up minister climate change minister the ocean. are in the long term of the medium much more challenging to deal with climate change obviously get on cannot act on it so we have to figure out it's all at the international community to deal with the plastics it's the same thing it's a big international issue a little cabinet he has a certain voice is in talks about industry and having to engage on that. friend but i wonder if it is difficult to convince people who depend on the forests to survive to get on board with you gov as a. slightly different country we are the size of the u.k. but we only have a population of 1800000 people and 87 percent of our people live

in cities so the rural areas are actually quite empty are not that many people out since in these rural areas. the way the lorry structured here. certain percentage of the room but only use from forestry. go into local communities and so as long as we apply those laws properly and one of the reasons i know the minister is that they happen in the past and apply perfectly zones repliers those properly to make them and we make sure that local communities are getting real benefit. from forestry we don't have much of a conflict in the bond between the forest living people will and this this this for our street industry right minnesota bring in a deal here that's been called historic that's it deal with norway and as i

understand it may end deila is from no way will go to grab on to fund efforts to protect the rain forest tell us more about that during the climate conference the u.n. climate conference in new york 10 days ago we signed an agreement by senator breaux the minister of environment for him from norway and norway has committed to purchasing up to $150000000.00 worth of carbon credits. of reduction in sincere to emissions from gap on the 1st time that a deal of this sort has been done in africa search very encouraged to. not just forget about them but for other african countries and and it's the 1st time in 1012 years the price of forests has changed that which you haven't committed to purchasing are covered credits for $10.00 a tonne where you convinced that forest comes with all sorts of other benefits that

biodiversity benefits ecosystem service benefits and the benefit suits the forests make up a much more like bitterness traditionally forest carbon is undervalued by the international market the reason we signed an agreement with norway. because they recognize our efforts to reduce emissions from the forestry sector and the fact is that we've been most forested going to show the planet that 88 percent forest cover you know deforestation rate is 0.012 of the lowest forested fission rates on your own planet certainly get done has taken action over the last 15 to 20 years to put in place well this is that allows us to develop and true whilst saving the road bursts must to be why it's incumbent on minister off the forest ocean environment and capital thank you for your time said. and that is that when our fans need everything is africa as always you can catch all our stories on our website the
