Stories: LAND GRABBING IN SENEGAL: LandgrabbingSenegal_photoLukaDakskobler-012

Chief of the village Mamadou Sow picks berries full of vitamins from a Jujube tree in a remote village of Ndiourki, Senegal, on January 8, 2014. The berries from the Jujube trees that have been growing in the area for centuries are very popular with the villagers for their high value in calcium and vitamin C as well as for having other positive effects on health, including the ability to lower blood pressure. However, several trees surrounding the village were cut down by the company Senhuile/Senethanol in order to clear the land for their plantations, depriving the villagers of one of their sources of vitamins.
