Ivory Coast on february 2016
A few kilometres from San Pedro lies a huge waste where man and mostly women burn woods, transport water buckets and get themselves In an infernal temperature over 40°.
This homemade exploitation is intended for the production of charcoal what constitutes a main fuels of domestic use in Ivory Coast.
In the face of serious problem of deforestation in this country this activity ts subject to very strict rules of supply, production and distribution and the owners are supposed to use only the rejects of forestry holding or waste of the factories of wood transformation.
