Cyclone Chido devastates Mayotte, causing an environmental crisis that could take a decade to recover.

Cyclone Chido has devastated Mayotte, an Indian Ocean territory, causing an environmental and biodiversity crisis that could last a decade. The cyclone destroyed much of the island's vegetation, leaving soil vulnerable to erosion and potentially harming the coral reef and its ecosystem. The loss of trees has also exposed slums and impacted wildlife. Scientists warn that restoring the forest could take 10 years if the land isn't converted to farmland.
