The inhabitants of Madagascar traditionally use wood charcoal for cooking. But it's expensive and also leads to deforestation. Once a lush, green island, Madagascar loses around 200,000 hectares of forest each year. Solar cookers are meant to cut the reliance on firewood and save the threatened forests.
