BUNTUBAT, Senegal – For the villagers of Buntubat, fishing the local lake has been their main source of food and income. But when two hydroelectric dams were built nearby, their livelihood became threatened.
NIGER, Africa - In the wake of last year's devastating famine and with another predicted to hit this year, food security in Niger is a critical issue.
