[Mari Madu, Department of Forestry,
Nigeria] When I first came here 35 years ago, this place was beautiful.
This is the shoreline of the Lake Chad and looking this side, right
through it was full of water, and lots of fishermen were here.
Lake Chad once produced so many fish, the Nigerian government built a
research lab on its shores. It is now a crumbling reminder of the
prosperity the lake once provided.
For almost two decades, Kaka Mustafa
worked here as a senior lab technician. Often he would walk outside to
watch his children playing in the shallows.
