Session IV: The impact of migration on the environment

This presentation is based on a project financed by the Canadian International Development Agency. Several Canadian organizations partnered with regional, national, and local African partners to conduct a study of how people interact with their environments in the Sahel region of Africa. Our case studies cover some communities in Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger. In addition to exploring how migration affects the environment, we explored the relationships between different societies and the relationship of people to the environment in places where there had previously been a much lower population density.
