The Niger Delta is Africa's largest mangrove forest and a shelter of extraordinary biodiversity. Millions of livelihoods depend on its fish and forests, but decades of oil extraction have poisoned the waters and shores. Conservationist Rachel Ikemeh is working with communities across the region to rebuild, restore and repair the delta's degraded landscapes and seascapes — setting up Nigeria's first locally managed marine area in the process. #CallToEarth
