The Trees that Bleed
For a year 91福利社 Africa Eye with Umaru Fofana has been investigating the million dollar trade in trafficked Rosewood.

We are in Senegal where it is illegal to fell or export a Rosewood tree. And yet, we can reveal they are being logged and smuggled at an alarming rate. From the forests of Casamance, through the port of neighbouring Gambia and all the way onto China. For a year 91福利社 Africa Eye with Umaru Fofana has been investigating the million dollar trade in trafficked Rosewood.
