The Wider Image: A green island turns red: Madagascans struggle through long drought
Kazy Zanapizo works on her land in the village of Ambory, Erada commune, Androy region, Madagascar, February 16, 2022. Madagascar has always known extreme weather events, but scientists say these will likely increase as human-induced climate change pushes temperatures higher. Four years of drought, along with deforestation caused by people burning or cutting down trees to make charcoal or to open up land for farming, have transformed the area into a dust bowl.
