For this year’s observance of International Environment Day the United Nations is focusing on the plight of forests worldwide. In Haiti, there remains less than one percent tree cover. Most deforestation is caused by the local population’s need for land to farm, wood to build with, and charcoal to cook with. The result has left immense tracks of land bare to the elements, hastened massive soil erosion and increased land slides and flash flooding. View of a deforested hilltop near Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
A member of the peasant association from a community in the Harerge Province, east of Addis Ababa, guards the land against vandals. With the assistance of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Government of Ethiopia has launched a massive reafforestation to counteract serious soil erosion and degradation, declining agricultural production and widespread famine. The programme is specifically designed to study the adaptability of various tree species to the country's diverse bioclimatic zones and eventually lead to a better integration of agriculture and forestry.

Headline A.U. Forces Move through Southern Somalia 
Caption Description Sacks of charcoal are seen by the roadside as a convoy of the Kenyan contingent of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) makes its way through the port city of Kismayo.
As part of the two-month operation to liberate towns and villages across southern Somalia, yesterday Kenyan AMISOM troops moved into and through Kismayo, the hitherto last major urban stronghold of the Al Shabaab militant group, on their way to the city’s airport without a single shot fired. Al Shabaab, the once feared and brutal extremist group, has lost a succession of strategic towns and villages across Somalia to AMISOM and Somali National Army (SNA) forces in sustained operations against them since they withdrew from fixed positions in the capital, Mogadishu, in August of 2011.
