Zambia – The Domino Effect

Zambia is one of the poorest countries of the world. Over half of its population lives below the poverty line. In most cases, they have no knowledge of how to grow crops and are unable to make a living from agriculture. Therefore, many Zambians resort to poaching and burning charcoal. As a result, hundreds of hectares of jungle have been cut down, and thousands of wild animals killed. Over 85% of Zambia’s residents are uneducated farmers who together account for only 15% of the national income.
