Vanishing Sacred Forests in Benin: Voodoo Believers Mourn the Loss

However, the steady shrinkage of these forests due to economic development and deforestation poses a threat not only to the environment but also to the social fabric of Benin’s population, as Voodoo is deeply embedded in the lives of many people.
