What does the Morocco–Nigeria gas pipeline involve?
About this episode
The episode discusses the planned Morocco–Nigeria gas pipeline and its implications for energy access in West Africa, alongside efforts to track Masai giraffe populations using AI.
A major gas pipeline is being planned from Nigeria to Morocco, running along the Atlantic coast through countries including Ghana and Senegal, before potentially linking up to Europe. The $25 billion project is aimed at boosting energy access across West Africa, but it is still awaiting a final green light, expected later this year. Also, Masai giraffe numbers have fallen by more than half in the past 30 years. Now, scientists in Tanzania are using artificial intelligence to track the species more quickly, offering new hope for their recovery.
