Charcoal is Somalia’s second-largest export. The forest pays first.
Each kilogram of charcoal destroys roughly four kilograms of standing forest. The IGAD-Sahel basin loses biomass to the export trade at a rate the land does not regrow. That is what these six pillars exist to interrupt.
Concrete. Measurable.
