Just took to life in the camps has been difficult for saigon survivors in zimbabwe. Last year 3 children and family when tragedy struck the night of march 15th now she lives in a tent with yass when. She sees life is unbearable. Survived this turn but was left with long term injuries she is traumatised by the thought of staying in a tent throughout the rainy season which has just started to margaret at a time when you cannot and we are living in these tents and the rain is coming where affright staying in these tents is unbearable when it rains the water floods them. We get so carried about our state of health. Pray to god and we wonder who will take us to the hospital when disaster strikes number 21 the good. People are leaving until for a shelter were hoping to have moved to permanent homes before the onset of good rains. Moving is no longer possible and they will have to wait to the end of the rainy season to 7 months. These rock boulders one stint remind us of what had been on the fateful night now with climate being more and more unpredictable these people and many others may not be out of the shadow of danger. Prepare which one damaged roads and bridges is one of growing but it is a race against time with the onset of the rains. Which government Officials Say they have completed your physical studies and identified land that is suitable for resettlement. This is an area which is they look to for the villages caused by Climate Change but that Climate Change can be exacerbated by settlement patterns so we are taking moon time to look for suitable areas we would to relocate those people. C more than a 100 people died. And many more are still missing you know what was one of them by the swift storms in memory. Survivors like. They were not to be at repeat of a disaster when the scale of saigon he died joining me now is not going to darby Global Climate policy lead in my bread for the conference. Its nice to see you and time. Time now weve just seen how people is still struggling. Now published a report today seen climates believe that catastrophes have forced 20000000 people to flee every year in the past decade so the question is how badly is africa affected. You know in general and Climate Change climate related disaster is afflicting africa mean shirty africas one of the hardest hit. When it comes to you know global emission off because just contributing to 5 percent of the global emission when it comes to displacement. Is so mind yet is one of the countries hardest hit theres so much theres no media theres also south sudan but for so money just in 2018 there were you know 7. 00 persons of the population displaced because of climate still disasters. Because of flooding this is in addition to conflict this means actually you know the entire population of new nick berg and bird and being displaced in a single year like you rightly said we are contributing to Climate Change but we are going to feel the effects even more than the major polluters do we want to find out what kind African Leaders do to push the worlds biggest polluters to actually do wall to help prevent Climate Change. 80 you know old radio africa is suffering the consequences 52000000 people because of droughts repeated droughts there theyre starving theyre hungry across 18 countries in africa so African Leaders have to come together actually in november they have made a strong call you know to the worlds leaders asking for funding so that communities can be supported in terms of rebuilding their homes and so on they have also they have to ask World Leaders especially rich countries you know youre the one who contributed to the global. Emission and you have to supply more tests in terms so if you know finance for adaptation final score no sin damage so thats communities can be able to have doubts at the end of the day do we on the consents are going to face the serious effect so we dont really have to wait for someone to do something right what can we do a continent and as a people to tackle this. Old radio you know were seeing some good examples for instance ethiopia has proposing you know to invest in a major way in Renewable Energy production thats a really good starts but still funding is needed you know to say supports africa in terms of reducing emissions cuts emissions 1 but were as i said were actually contributing to 5 persons so we need to be able to find creative ways to adopt but again you know i dont they do we need to finance we need funding. Very well so now its got to be our farmers Global Climate policy lead thanks for your time. Thank you.

Poaching and regional insecurity decimated the relation but Severe Weather on drought making things even worse. The dry Northern Plains of kenya used to be a safe haven for the iconic zebra the species is well suited to the arid conditions but loss of habitat intense drought and the land degradation is pushing these embryos to the brink this is many. Increasing production and increasing numbers of livestock diseases like anthrax have also diminished. But the severe droughts have been especially deadly for the younger animals in particular the population structure is skewed many adults and few smaller younger individuals it basically means that the babies may be getting born but theyre not surviving to adult the situation has become so drastic that conservationists are now being forced to intervene the main problem is theyre literally starving to death the grammys eba trust another organizations that are trying to save the servers actually have been feeding them during the dry season and bringing them hay conservationists say creating Nature Conservancy is in kenya it will secure the gravy zebras heartland and replanting grasses will rehabilitate the land but until that happens the survival of gravity is not guaranteed.
