‘Means of survival': Tanzania's booming charcoal trade drives unchecked deforestation
Cleared forest on the edge of Ruhoi reserve in eastern Tanzania. Illegal loggers depend on the trade to live, hampering conservation efforts.
As rising gas prices drive demand for the polluting fuel, illegal loggers depend on the trade to live - even as the forest disappears around them.
arge swathes of Ruhoi forest reserve in eastern Tanzania now lay bare, the ground in some sections dry and scorched, covered with stumps and brittle and fallen trees. The forest is being cut down at an alarming rate to meet the growing demand for charcoal in the nearby city of Dar es Salaam.
As a result of high gas prices, about 90% of Tanzanian households now use charcoal or firewood to cook, which is fuelling rapid deforestation across the country.
Between 2015 and 2020, the country lost almost 470,000 hectares (1.16m acres) of forest a year, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. The situation mirrors what is happening across much of Africa, where wood collection and charcoal production account for nearly half of the continent's forest degradation.

‘Means of survival': Tanzania's booming charcoal trade drives unchecked deforestation
Cleared forest on the edge of Ruhoi reserve in eastern Tanzania. Illegal loggers depend on the trade to live, hampering conservation efforts.
As rising gas prices drive demand for the polluting fuel, illegal loggers depend on the trade to live - even as the forest disappears around them.
arge swathes of Ruhoi forest reserve in eastern Tanzania now lay bare, the ground in some sections dry and scorched, covered with stumps and brittle and fallen trees. The forest is being cut down at an alarming rate to meet the growing demand for charcoal in the nearby city of Dar es Salaam.
As a result of high gas prices, about 90% of Tanzanian households now use charcoal or firewood to cook, which is fuelling rapid deforestation across the country.
Between 2015 and 2020, the country lost almost 470,000 hectares (1.16m acres) of forest a year, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. The situation mirrors what is happening across much of Africa, where wood collection and charcoal production account for nearly half of the continent's forest degradation.

THESE PHOTOS MIGHT LOOK LIKE GIRAFFES HAVE TURNED CARNIVOROUS BUT IN FACT IT’S A TALL TALE OF THE LOFTY ANIMALS LICKING BONES FOR CALCIUM
A photographer has captured rarely recorded behaviour of a herd of giraffes sucking the BONES of a skeleton. The Halloween-like images might spark fears the world’s tallest animal has turned carnivore, but that would be a tall tale – because they are actually licking the bones for minerals. The huge 19-foot tall herbivores would certainly frighten a few safari goers if they started eating meat but luckily the animals are supplementing their diet with nutrients essential for their own massive skeletons. Amateur wildlife photographer Arnaud Germain, 45, took these remarkable images on Sunday October 6, in the Mikumi National Park, Tanzania. As his photographs show, several giraffes pick up and mouth parts of the skeleton repeatedly, drooling as they suck or lick on the bones. Arnaud said despite more than a decade in Africa he had never seen the tall animals behave this way. He said: 'I’ve read about this behaviour called osteophagy, but had never witnessed it, despite living in Africa for more than 10 years and going on safari every time I can.
'I have spent a lot of time next to five different species of giraffes and it was the first time I witnessed this behaviour.'
Osteophagy is the practice in which animals, usually herbivores, consume bones. The animals do this because their plant-based diet lacks sufficient phosphate and calcium, which can be found in the bones.
Herbivores tend to chew drier older bones, whereas carnivores usually consume the fresh softer marrow-filled bones with the kill.
Arnaud said the bones this herd of giraffes was feeding on were probably from a baby antelope killed a few days earlier.
He said: 'We watched it for more than 15 minutes as there was a group of about 15 giraffes.

Arnaud said despite more than a decade in Africa he had never seen the tall animals behave this way. He said: 'IÕve read about this behaviour called osteophagy, but had never witnessed it, despite living in Africa for more than 10 years and going on safari every time I can.
'I have spent a lot of time next to five different species of giraffes and it was the first time I witnessed this behaviour.'
Osteophagy is the practice in which animals, usually herbivores, consume bones. The animals do this because their plant-based diet lacks sufficient phosphate and calcium, which can be found in the bones.
Herbivores tend to chew drier older bones, whereas carnivores usually consume the fresh softer marrow-filled bones with the kill.
Arnaud said the bones this herd of giraffes was feeding on were probably from a baby antelope killed a few days earlier.
He said: 'We watched it for more than 15 minutes as there was a group of about 15 giraffes.
'Five of them engaged in the behaviour, picking up large parts of the skeleton, dropping it, picking

THESE PHOTOS MIGHT LOOK LIKE GIRAFFES HAVE TURNED CARNIVOROUS BUT IN FACT ITÕS A TALL TALE OF THE LOFTY ANIMALS LICKING BONES FOR CALCIUM
A photographer has captured rarely recorded behaviour of a herd of giraffes sucking the BONES of a skeleton. The Halloween-like images might spark fears the worldÕs tallest animal has turned carnivore, but that would be a tall tale Ð because they are actually licking the bones for minerals. The huge 19-foot tall herbivores would certainly frighten a few safari goers if they started eating meat but luckily the animals are supplementing their diet with nutrients essential for their own massive skeletons. Amateur wildlife photographer Arnaud Germain, 45, took these remarkable images on Sunday October 6, in the Mikumi National Park, Tanzania. As his photographs show, several giraffes pick up and mouth parts of the skeleton repeatedly, drooling as they suck or lick on the bones. Arnaud said despite more than a decade in Africa he had never seen the tall animals behave this way.
