Francis James

Francis James, a 36-year-old resident of Zilindo, Malawi, has been selling firewood for the past decade. He has observed the gradual disappearance of the forests in the Zomba plateau, which has forced him to travel increasingly longer distances to gather wood. James attributes the loss of forest resources to illegal logging and highlights the struggle for food between the local population and monkeys, as both groups compete for the dwindling fruits and resources.
