A Not-So-Sweet Side of Chocolate


Growing the Cacao Trees
The chocolate that ends up on supermarket shelves usually contains cocoa or cacao. Both are made from cacao beans, which are harvested from cacao trees. Much of this harvesting is done in Ivory Coast. The country is the world's top cacao producer. But not all cacao farming in Ivory Coast is done legitimately. And widespread illegal cacao farming has caused a deforestation crisis for the West African nation.
A 2017 investigation by environmental group Mighty Earth found that many of Ivory Coast's national parks and protected areas "have been entirely or almost entirely cleared of forest." The trees have been replaced with cacao-growing operations. One of these areas is Mont Péko National Park. It is home to chimpanzees, pygmy hippopotamuses, and other endangered species.
For activists, chocolate is not an acceptable tradeoff for ecologically valuable forests. "We can't indulge in a feel-good luxury product at the expense of a huge swath of tropical rainforest," said Etelle Higonnet, a senior advisor for Mighty Earth.
In 2017, the governments of Ivory Coast and Ghana, the world's other top cacao producer, reached an agreement with officials representing several food giants that make chocolate, like Nestlé, Mars, and Hershey. They pledged to work together to end deforestation. Rick Scobey, the president of the World Cocoa Foundation, called it an "important environmental achievement." Mars furthered its pledge in 2018. It committed to purchasing all of its cocoa from sustainable sources by 2025.
Now, park rangers in Ivory Coast are doing their part to protect the country's forests from illegal farming. On a recent patrol in Mont Péko National Park, it didn't take long for the rangers to find cacao growing illegally. Using machetes, the team set to work removing it.
But for all these efforts, there has been limited progress, said Kpolo Ouattara, head of the Mont Péko sector for the Ivorian Office of Parks and Reserves. "Roughly, more than 800 hectares [1,977 acres] of cacao has been cut. Compared to the park's total area of 34,000 hectares [84,016 acres], that's very little."
Some observers worry that local traders are willing to turn a blind eye to illegally farmed cacao that is headed for the global chocolate market. That means that farmers are able to sell their cacao beans whether they're legally grown or not. So some of the world's beloved chocolate likely comes from beans that were grown illegally.
Higonnet believes chocolate companies have a duty to let their customers know where their chocolate is coming from. "Let's have total transparency all the way from the bar in your hand…down to the farm," she said. "[Chocolate producers should] really give customers peace of mind that chocolate eating isn't contributing to killing chimps or elephants."
Working on Cacao Farms
When it comes to chocolate production, human rights are yet another concern. West Africa's cacao farmers work in difficult conditions to harvest the beans. And many of these cacao workers are children. Some of them aren't paid.
In 2015, Tulane University in the United States released a study on child labor in the West African chocolate industry. The report estimated that 2.1 million child laborers in Ivory Coast and Ghana worked in cacao production in the 2013–2014 cacao harvest season. It also found that almost 96 percent of the children were involved in hazardous work. Some of the children studied were also deprived of an education. In fact, Tulane estimated that in Ivory Coast, about 30 percent of the children who worked in cacao farming did not attend school.
The dark side of the chocolate industry has made some chocolate lovers think twice about the chocolate they eat. Scobey says customers should choose brands that advertise their adherence to international standards. He also recommends that customers check brand websites for information about their commitments to environmental and human rights concerns.

Snake Story
Becky moved off of the porch slowly, backing through the door and into the house. She slammed the sliding glass door shut and stood for a moment, relieved to have something solid between her and the snake on the porch.
The glass was cool under her hands despite her pounding heart. She tried to slow her breathing. She was safe, at last, inside. Or was she? How had that snake gotten into the screened-in and walled-up back porch. If it could get in there, it's possible it could get inside where she was as well.
Becky wasn't someone who was normally skittish about wild things. She'd handled snakes before, picked up lizards many times, caught frogs in the garage and let them go. But snakes seemed to always catch her off guard. They would turn up when least expected. She would see them out of the corner of her eye and just the surprise of it would make her jump; her adrenalin would pump, her heart would thump, and her panic would take over.
What was she going to do? She couldn't just stand there waiting for the snake to decide to leave. What if it were venomous? It didn't look like a viper, but it could be. She would need to get out there soon to water the plants.
"What this requires is some advanced planning," she said out loud to her cat, Louie. "And, I will probably have to go 'once more into the fray' kitty," she said, looking in the cat's direction for emphasis.
"First things first, though," she said. The cat meowed back. It often did that, having become used to being talked to. "Let's look that fellow up," Becky said walking to her bookshelf.
"Let's see, snakes," she said, thumbing through her reptile and amphibian identification book. "It's brown and gray, with some black. With a pattern that looks ... there it is," she said thumping the page so hard that Louie jumped. "Not venomous," she said, triumphantly.
"It's an oak snake, Louie," she returned the book and strode over to her closet. "Not venomous, but I am still not taking chances," she said.
She reached into the closet and pulled out her heaviest jacket. It was lined and stuffed thick with lots of padding. Then she found her mittens and a pair of rubber boots. She knew even non-venomous snakes would sometimes threaten to strike when scared. "And that threat would work on me," Becky said aloud again, though Louie had no idea what she was talking about.
"It's 90 degrees outside, Louie," she said, "so get the iced lemonade ready for when I return."
It wasn't much of a plan, but it was the best she could come up with. With her armor on, she was already sweating when she slowly pushed open the sliding glass door and stepped back on to the porch.
She was pretty sure the snake would slither away from her presence. She propped open the outside door, and hoped she could shoo the snake in that direction.
Sweat dampened her arms and collected on her face. She spread her arms out, and took a few steps toward the snake. There was so much for it to hide beneath. Becky regretted the rocking chairs and all the plant stands between where the snake was in the corner and the door to the outside.
At first it seemed like the snake was just going to remain where it was, flicking its tongue every now and then. Becky waved her arms, lunged in its direction, and stomped her feet. It sat there, coiled in the corner, as if perfectly happy to remain there. In a fit of desperation, she picked up one side of the rocking chair the snake was under and let it drop. The snake jumped, raised its head like it was going to strike, and then stayed right where it was.
"Snake," Becky said, "This is not how it works. You have got to go." The snake moved its head back and forth, swaying a bit, and that gave Becky an idea.
She had read somewhere that snakes can "hear" thanks to the ability to process vibrations through the bone in their jaw. This awareness of vibrations in the ground was one reason it was very hard to sneak up on snakes. She quickly realized that getting the snake out was going to be a lot easier than she had thought.
Becky turned on the radio she kept on the porch and lowered it to the ground, pointing in the snake's direction. She adjusted the controls so that the bass was as high as it could go. Then she cranked up the volume. She envisioned the snake swaying to the sounds of "Dancing Queen by Abba, and then leaving the porch and going far far away.
Coming back into the house she began peeling off the now damp armaments she had put on earlier. "Louie, there is more than one way to skin a snake," she said laughing. She watched as the snake uncoiled and moved cautiously in the direction of the door. Bending down to pick up Louie Becky sighed and stroked his head. "'Cause no one ever wants to skin a cat sweetie
The glass was cool under her hands despite her pounding heart. She tried to slow her breathing. She was safe at last inside.
