Government Suspends Chaotic ID Rollout and Liberia’s Forests Face New Threats as Charcoal Production Soars and EcoGuards Resume Hunting

Coming up in this episode. 

Following a chaotic rollout process, the government indefinitely suspends its compulsory national ID registration program.  

As climate change causes more and more farms to fail, rural dwellers turn to charcoal production to survive in a renewed threat to Liberia’s forests 

At the same time, the end of international funding for ecoguards, has forced many back to the forests to hunt renewing threats to biodiversity.
