Since the 1950s, Comoros has been clearing forests to make way for farmland and in the process disrupted a delicate ecosystem. With so many trees and plants cut down, the water they would normally collect and feed back into the ground and rivers is disappearing. Families in parts of the island now struggle to meet their domestic needs, and farmers are finding it increasingly difficult to irrigate their fields. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/16/world/africa/comoros-climate-change-rivers.html
