E26 | Earth from above | Nature’s Heroes: Senegal - Part 2

For this new episode, Yann Arthus-Bertrand travels through Senegal to encounter men and women who dedicate their lives to preserving the environment. One of the major ecological stakes of the country is fishing and the mangrove ecosystem which, like in some many other parts of the world, faces major threats. Yann Arthus-Bertrand presents the struggle of Haidar El Ali, chosen among one of the world’s most active ecologists. He creates protected marine areas and reforests the disappeared mangrove of his country. He’s managed to convince thousands of Senegalese to plant with him ten million mangrove trees.
