The pain of a village that destroyed its ecosystem

Effects of Deforestation

Kenya: He writhed in pain and wore a frown on his wrinkled hairy face as he gathered effort to sit on his three legged stool. His back is radiating with pain, the reason he knows well, these are his last days on earth. Mzee Wario recalls and only can describe well how the effects of climate change have taken a toll on not only his life but that of his surroundings. He raises his nose into the air like he is trying to pick some scent, wrinkles form at the edge of his grey eyes as he strains to look at the horizon.

His is full of thoughts and nostalgic, he couldn’t believe that their once green and productive land will one day be a dusty desert full of bones and that the only birds singing in the sky would be vultures.
