The Thirsty Fisherman
This is a story of a naturally endowed region of Nigeria, a state likened to a proverbial food basket in which the carrier is starving. It is a short submission of how human activities have through cultural practices inflicted harm on the natural environment (biodiversity). Included in this story is the need to reverse the negative trends and review steps towards achieving sustainable and harmless biodiversity.

Conservation Nature in Tanzania
From a very young age at the high school level, I had a strong passion for the environment. This is when I started to volunteer under the United nation school club. I continue to gain relevant experience at environmental projects and through wide-ranging involvement with youth environmental organizations, especially the Tanzania youth biodiversity network.
When I Was A Child
Dream to Reality: Together, We Are the Future
A young boy aiming to be that change in his community, I am Fontoh, Age 29 from Cameroon, Founder of Cepow Cameroon. 10 years ago, in our community forest, common activities practised were bush fires, deforestation, and Sand extraction. This forest was home to a lone water catchment supplying 10000 inhabitants. Pollution and defecation on water sources were predominant. I can remember at age 23, my peers always insulted me for going to study rocks and claiming to be involved in keeping a legacy for Mother Nature. This became worst when a close friend told me “Desmond: A guy who plants trees, what gains will you have? Your friends are in search of corporate jobs and you are here planting trees”. Today we have planted, 7500 trees, trained 400 kids, created 5 Eco Clubs, Pick-up 10000kg of plastics, and trained about 100 youths on forest conservation and plastic recycling.
Passion for Climate/ Biodiversity in Relation to Agriculture to End Hunger Crisis in Africa
Plastic Impacts and Action
My story tries to touch on the most encountered most frequently whenever we participate in a litter clean up whether along the road or beaches: plastic bottles. This impacts biodiversity, especially marine, since when we have seen how a whale died due to ingesting 80 kg of plastics.
Even if we are not able to quit the use of plastic all of the sudden, we should still be innovative in recycling those plastics into useful products like eco-bricks. This at least will help to tackle plastic pollution and save our biodiversity.
Surviving the Environment Arena and Beyond: Maasai Mara Reserve
New reforms to education in Africa are transforming learning opportunities for the continent's youth, but learners still lack access to relevant skills that will help them secure employment opportunities. What can be done? I am passionate about science, one of the things about science that drew me to it is the fact it's about the discovery of knowledge. I believe that Africa, and especially Kenya, has all the resources that it needs to keep its people healthy, yet people are not enjoying the best health. One way that I believe I can solve that problem is by researching medicinal plants because I believe we have those resources we just need to find out the compounds in plants that we can utilize to keep ourselves healthy. Everything that we need to be healthy is provided to us by nature, we just have to tap through research and also by educating people on how to apply those principles and knowledge that we learned from research into being healthy. I envision a world where there is equality, quality education, improved health services for all, and good, effective and transformative leaders.
Forest In The Stomach
Food is vital for survival, so making money of it comes with a sweet feeling knowing one can pay bills easily. The rural livelihood is always linked to the forest, putting the forest at the expense of risk. Should we eat at the forest's expense? Or, should the forest be preserved while the people starve? This is the current situation that has put the Indigenous people of Onigambari forest reserve communities in Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria, in a dilemma over the past years of their existence.
Forest in the stomach is about actions that balance both forest and farming to coexist together in an environmentally sustainable manner.

Organic Farming and Agroforestry
There is a need for the community to move away from short term solutions with negative impacts on the environment, and instead embrace solutions that are from nature itself and nature friendly when it comes to agriculture. At The Polly Foundation, we are training farmers to adopt the use of natural products that they can easily access either at no cost or less cost to help them in farming.
Environmental Mentorship Program
NatureKit offers environmental leadership program to youths aged 15 to 25 on issues regarding climate change, plastic pollution, deforestation, wildlife conservation, environmental activism and conservation of endangered mammals. The mentored youth then offer environmental education and awareness to schools and communities.
