Nilrangsi V on 23 Sep 14Liberia was going through a lot of deforestation, and was going to become the number one deforested country. Therefore Norway has jumped in to help with this crisis, by saying they will help pay for development aid, because there have been fears that the Ebola crisis would increase the logging in Liberia, who are really desperate for cash. This part of the news shows how Liberia would cut all their trees and take away all of their valuable resources for the money to help cure it's people. As of now Norway will pay the impoverished West African country $150m (£91.4m) to stop deforestation by 2020.
