A seemingly endless stream of news of Africa's sorry plight continues to reach us through the media; of sickness and starvation, through crop failure, soil deterioration and drought. Scotland is always first to respond with aid but one-off fund raising ventures seem to amount to nothing more than a sticking plaster on Africa's open sores. There is a man in southern, central Africa who realises that so long as trees remain, there is hope for his people; and once the trees have gone the soil will alsogo. Against all odds, and with no funding, he is motivating the people to set in place proved and tried systems for the conservation and restoration of the diminishing forests without which they cannot survive. His name is John K Mutimushi.
