Situated between Mozambique and Madagascar, the Union of the Comoros is one of the world’s
poorest countries. Heavy dependence on agriculture, complicated by high population density
and a lack of governance has led to mismanagement of natural resources and land degradation.
Additionally, the coun...

Localisé entre le Mozambique et Madagascar, l’Union des Comores est un des pays les plus
pauvres du monde. Sa très forte dépendance au secteur agricole couplée avec une densité de
population élevée et d’un manque de gouvernance a conduit le pays vers une mauvaise gestion
des ressources naturelles...
