26 may 2008, Rome -- Slowing forest depletion in Malawi
Leading up to June Summit on World Food Security and the Challenges of Climate Change and Bioenergy (Rome, June 3 to 5, 2008) Conserving and replacing forest cover in the face of climate change is a greater challenge than ever in Malawi, where most people use primarily wood and charcoal for energy.
