Lake Chad Livelihoods
FAO
Lake Chad shrank 90% in sixty years. Fishing was banned for security. Borno's fisherfolk lost their trade and their identity. FAO's aquaculture initiative gave it back: catfish in fiberglass tanks, vegetable gardens from wastewater. A woman who once fished the lake now teaches the economics of aquaculture — breaking the cycle of dependence, one harvest at a time.

Eco-Pioneers
Lagos generates 10,000 tonnes of plastic waste daily. Youth are turning mountains of trash into roof tiles, into footwear, into enterprise.
Great Green Wall
The Sahara crept south for decades. The Great Green Wall is Africa's answer: a 1,359-km shelterbelt planted by communities reclaiming their soil.
Mangrove Belt Revival
The Niger Delta's mangroves were sacrificed to oil. Now First Climate is replanting at industrial scale — a million seedlings a year, community by community.
