VOICED : Ivory Coasts evicted farmers left destitute

The video discusses the forced evictions of farmers from Mount Pico in Ivory Coast to protect the forest. Despite the intention to conserve the environment, the evictions have led to significant hardships for the displaced, many of whom are migrants from Burkina Faso. The influx of people into nearby villages has strained resources, particularly schooling. As the Paris Agreement on climate change is implemented, rights groups argue that environmental protection should not come at the cost of human rights, highlighting the need for balanced approaches to conservation.
