Synopsis "The Rain Doesn't Fall as It Used To: A Sierra Leone Story.DE"

For generations, farmers in rural Sierra Leone have read the signs around them watching for certain trees to flower before the monsoon, paying attention to how birds behave before a storm. This knowledge comes from centuries of paying close attention to the land, and for many it has been more dependable than radio forecasts they cannot always access. But now the climate is changing faster than before, and this older knowledge is being pushed aside. 'The Rain Doesn't Fall as It Used To' looks at what is happening in the Komboya Chiefdom, Bo district where older people see traditions slipping away, while younger generations turn towards modern schools seeing ancestral farming ways as outdated. Meanwhile, foreign funded adaptation projects spend heavily on infrastructure, yet the knowledge that could offer the most practical, locally suited answers gets dismissed. Based on conversations with people in the community and careful fieldwork, the book argues for a different way forward, showing that the most effective climate strategies are not always found in technical reports, but in the shared understanding held by the community itself.
