Malian Refugees in Mauritania

Taken on 2012-05-15

Refugees in a ECHO funded camp - Bassikounou, Eastern Mauritania. Daily tasks include looking for firewood for cooking. The arrival of so many refugees has meant women have to travel further and further from the camps to find enough. These added demands on the environment have pushed the ecosystems far beyond their natural regeneration capacities. The Sahel is at the forefront of climate change and desertification is already a grim reality.
