It is said that up to 200,000 children work in Côte d'Ivoire, the biggest cocoa producer in the world, who supplies 35% of global demands. The problem is most prevalent in West Africa’s Ivory Coast, which supplies 65% of the world’s cocoa.It is said that an estimated 1.8 million children are currently working in cocoa plantations. Children, between 10 to 15 years old and often younger, are used as slaves to pay off their family’s debts and being forced to do hazardous work. Sometimes they are even stolen from their parents, never to see them again. They are under fed and beaten when they try to escape. https://padlet.com/mandy_hayward2/im63p1noktubhts5/wish/1512748977 -Aayla Moore ]]> 2021-05-11 10:33:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mandy_hayward2/im63p1noktubhts5/wish/1512748977 The dark side of chocolate https://padlet.com/mandy_hayward2/im63p1noktubhts5/wish/1512749900 https://www.theworldcounts.com/stories/child-labor-in-chocolate-industry

they are also burning the trees so that they can plant for of the cocoa trees to increase the amount of cocoa being grown in the areas by doing this you are removing parts of the environments that will take forever to regrow and rebuild the lost ecosystems.
