Indonesia struggles with the waste of 280 million people. All too often, it ends up in the sea

Fish stocks must replenish, but moratorium would be painful in the short term

Kenya is pursuing an ambitious plan to reforest the land – the national tree cover ought to increase from 12 % to 30 % in the next ten years
