Seychelles is the richest country in Africa but as a small island country it is also being impacted severely by climate change. Sadly it is not just climate changed caused by humanity as a whole, it is the damage to the environment that is caused by the individuals living in and visiting the islands. The environment damage is making it hard to grow food and the island is becoming more dependent on imported food.

A GEF funded project is trying to reverse this using an integrated approach called Ridge to Reef. Listen to Johan Mendez, an international water expert who has made Seychelles his home explain the project.
