Abstract
Bayelsa, in the Niger Delta, in Southern Nigeria, is in the grip of a
human and environmental catastrophe of unimaginable proportions.
At one time, the area was home to one of the largest mangrove forests
on the planet; an area of unrivalled ecological value. Today, it is one of
the most polluted places on Earth. Oil extraction and its impact is the
overwhelmingly evident cause of this disaster.
