after the move to berlin. germany. 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 fled in violence now live on the landfill. award winning environmentalist who's fighting against illegal logging in uganda zocor forest despite threats to his life .

hello i'm kristie want to welcome to news africa it's good to have you along mani has been battling a 7 year long insurgency which has seen jihad just 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 feel their homes some have been displaced within mali and as you're about to see they're being forced to live in complete squalor. it's only a stone's throw from here to downtown only 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 water 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 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. 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. some to their 1000000 man 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'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 dog and 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 i'm telling you honestly if i said i had seen them when i would be telling a line of i saw people in tents yes well arranged nice tents and a temporary shelter been a minute. the mullion government is busy trying to distinguish different fires at once expanding islamist militancy and ethnic violence.

the whole challenge needs a global response not just to mali in one by. one if they cannot come up with a plan together then the whole challenge stays as it is. people in just one of many makeshift camps across mali living in a dire situation one tamale and 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 allen's little 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. it's i do my knees visitation and districts

this reach ecosystem belongs to the congo basin tropical rain forests the 2nd lung on the earth just after the amazon fed it's and then just. if we give it a decade from now i don't think there wouldn't be a quest to sustain and then life in niger money because as i speak now there we're going to do one exhibit on the commission dented we call 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 chuckle are responsible for most of the destruction of the forest is that we know you know prince william bless the ammons a little 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 living our life to protect the people involved in it would make the military big police and a powerful business special not a sunday best all be all kept on going daily galley and carving team for trafficking has taken its toll on our minds it was life but you saved a forest the environmental activist is ready to risk it all. one of the most prominent telling this i face in my walk is the. physical. face to to attempt it in my bouts because he's being investigated by police my house has been broken into for 4 times on the record i used to rain it's more room in kampala that i've been broken into twice i had to shift to another place

speckles also broken into. a men's all the sacrifices are worth it when it comes to save the trees that's make our planet. but i jus money 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 v y t s gabon's minister off forest ocean environment and climate change welcome to date of the africa professor so you have just come into office you 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 10000 cubic metres

of lead which showed up in court. the president was obliged to remain the vice presidents of the previous list through forestry complicity so one of my jobs is to clean up the 1st tree sector and while some of the main challenges that you all facing in ensuring that you can protect this environment my 1st job is is to make sure that all of the forestry and it all is sustainable well. you know it is president president so he won't go to the decision to make certification obligatory for all forestry companies are to see such because from bunch of 22 onwards so we're putting in place a series of measures that will make forestry transparent and will guarantee that the forestry is not only good economy but it's good for wildlife invited 1st 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 in fact the other parts of my might show up mr climate change minister of 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 it is in talks about industry and having to engage on that. frank 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 were 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. in these rural areas. the way the lorry structured here. a certain percentage of the route but only used from forestry. go into local communities and so as long as we apply those laws probably and one of the reasons i don't know the minister is that they happen in the past and apply perfectly those repliers laws 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 forests living will and this this this for our street industry right minnesota bring in a deal here that's been called historic that's a deal with norway and as i understand it millions off the dial is from no way will

go to get biden 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 i signed a group the minister of environment. 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. not just to get on but for other african countries and and it's the 1st time in 1012 years that the price of forests has changed that which your government committed to purchasing our coven credits for 10 dollars a tonne where we convinced that forest comes with all sorts of other benefits the

biodiversity benefits ecosystem service benefits and the benefit serves just for us make up a much more valuable but richard in this traditionally forest carbon is undervalued international market the reason we signed an agreement with no way. 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 with 88 percent forest cover you know deforestation rate is 0.0101 the lowest forested fish and write something you haven't learned certainly going on has taken action over the last 15 to 20 years to put in place well this is the dilemma to develop and true whilst saving the road bursts that's to be why it's minister off the forest ocean environment and cattle thank you for your time say. and that is that when alphonse de devaney is africa as always you can catch all our stories on our website the facebook page
