A "cocoa rush" in Liberia’s remote southeast is driving a major deforestation crisis. Tens of thousands of migrant workers from Côte d’Ivoire are clearing West Africa’s last remaining rainforests for cocoa plantations, pushing Grand Gedeh county to record forest loss. Ashoka Mukpo reports for #Mongabay. https://mongabay.cc/MSWO5T #Liberia #Cocoa

Sicilianews24.it: Foreste in pericolo: la crisi del cacao in Liberia e la sua devastazione ecologica. ## La crisi della deforestazione in Liberia Nella regione sud-orientale della Liberia, che ospita alcune delle ultime foreste pluviali dell’Africa occidentale, si sta verificando una grave crisi di deforestazione legata alla coltivazione del cacao. Negli ultimi anni, decine di migliaia di lavoratori provenienti dalla vicina Costa d’Avorio hanno attraversato il confine, attratti dalla scarsità di terra e dall’incremento dei prezzi. Questo “cacao rush” ha distrutto più foreste nel distretto di Grand Gedeh della Liberia nell’ultimo anno rispetto a qualsiasi altro anno registrato dal 2002. L'articolo Foreste in pericolo: la crisi del cacao in Liberia e la sua devastazione ecologica. sembra essere il primo su Sicilianews24.it. Forests at risk: the cocoa crisis in Liberia and its ecological devastation. ## The Deforestation Crisis in Liberia In the southeastern region of Liberia, which hosts some of the last rainforests of West Africa, a serious deforestation crisis is unfolding due to cocoa cultivation. In recent years, tens of thousands of workers from neighboring Ivory Coast have crossed the border, attracted by land scarcity and rising prices. This “cocoa rush” has destroyed more forests in the Grand Gedeh district of Liberia in the last year than any other year recorded since 2002.

Illegal cocoa plantations are fueling rapid deforestation in Liberia’s rainforests to supply global chocolate demand. Ashoka Mukpo met with rangers, landowners, and migrant workers, to investigate if southeastern Liberia is repeating Côte d'Ivoire’s devastating environmental history.
