On 19 March 2025, Studio Yafa<\/a>, the production studio of Fondation Hirondelle in Burkina Faso, broadcast the first video capsule of All\u00f4 la Terre<\/em>, a weekly production to inform audiences about environmental and climate issues<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe idea is to make these topics, often highly scientific, accessible and understandable<\/strong> to the public, so that every citizen can make informed decisions,\u201d explains Danielle Coulibaly, the journalist in charge of All\u00f4 la Terre<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She adds: \u201cIt all began after a short-form video training at the end of 2024. The editor-in-chief at the time suggested that I launch a project focusing on the environment and climate change.\u201d Already producing radio reports on the subject, she immediately agreed and developed the project with the support of Jacqueline Dalton, Head of Editorial Content at Fondation Hirondelle.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Producing a video<\/strong>, from topic research through to editing, takes approximately one to two weeks, depending on constraints. Some topics are complex and require more in-depth research, while others depend on the availability of experts. \u201cProducing one video per week is therefore a demanding pace,\u201d Danielle points out. She is responsible for scheduling interviews, filming, writing scripts, recording and appearing on camera, editing the video, before it is refined and published by the web manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By highlighting these initiatives, the programme\u2019s main goal is to inform a wide audience, helping them to understand the urgency of climate and environmental issues<\/strong>. Climate change affects all key sectors, including health, the economy, and human and food security. \u201cFor example, it is crucial to understand that degraded land is fertile ground for food insecurity and social conflict. Restoring our land is, above all, about protecting our peace<\/strong>,\u201d emphasises the editor of All\u00f4 la Terre<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme also seeks to inspire audiences by showcasing local initiatives and solutions<\/strong>, such as those led by Yacouba Sawadogo, also known as \u201cthe man who stopped the desert\u201d, who used techniques as Za\u00ef<\/a>. \u201cSuch initiatives help demystify climate change by highlighting concrete successes that are close to home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, All\u00f4 la Terre<\/em> is a tool to encourage collective engagement,<\/strong> so that every citizen can become an agent of change in Burkina Faso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
