World’s fourth largest and the most diversified island, Madagascar, once home to hundreds of endemic species of plants and animals is turning out into a red desert.
Seeing the situation in the southern part of the island, WFP had warned that the rich and green Madagascar is on the verge of a severe food crisis that was seen globally as the first “climate change famine”. But the situation is turning better after the constant efforts from the WFP, aided organizations and local authorities.
World Food Program Chief Theodore Mbainaissem says, “If you ask the elders ‘do you think it’s going to rain,’ they say they don’t know. Before they could tell from the position of the moon when it was going to rain, but people do not manage to analyze anymore”.
