Senegal's heavily forested southern region of Casamance will have no tree cover left by 2018 if illegal logging driven by Chinese demand is not addressed, the AFP news agency quotes a Senegalese ecologist as saying.

Haidar El Ali, a former environment minister and now head of the environmental group Oceanium, said at a conference in Dakar that the loggers' activities had "reached a point of no return".
