Episode Details

Nigeria's forests are rapidly disappearing due to unchecked deforestation, where trees are cut for firewood, construction, and farming without replacement, leading to environmental devastation.

 
As forests shrink, wild animals encroach into human settlements, sometimes causing deadly encounters and outbreaks of diseases.

On this International Day of Forests, we explore how deforestation contributes to climate change, desertification, and biodiversity loss, and what it means for Nigeria’s future.
