Let's rethink our actions towards our environment.

by sandy charles | 06-10-2020 19:05 recommendations 0

Today, Guinean cities are among the areas in which the issue of environmental management remains an ongoing concern. Environmental damage is widespread and increasing. Several classified forests are threatened with extinction. These forests, which once made the vegetation landscape green and preserved the surrounding waterways, exist only in name today. Because 78% of them are destroyed or continue to suffer from human activities harmful to their existence (Data from the Ministry of the Environment). Insalubrity is the dominant reality in this country, the rate of garbage collection does not even reach 15% (Data from the Ministry of Sanitation). Most of its rivers are threatened by mountains of garbage. Due to a lack of civil behavior, citizens have turned the rivers into a garbage dump. A situation that constitutes an ordeal for the citizens who are housed close to the bed of these rivers. 


Due to a lack of ignorance and parental control, children living near these rivers bathe in these polluted rivers and consume this water for drinking and others use it for household activities (laundry, dishes ...). This situation leads to an increase in the rate of waterborne disease among children in this community. 


In spite of all these factors it is time for us to change our behavior towards our environment for its survival while maintaining its balance. This will create a living environment for the children and finally allow them to grow up in an environment favorable to their development. Today, in some localities of Guinea there are some children and young people who are making the local authorities and their parents aware of their responsibility towards the protection of the environment through awareness-raising actions, the creation of green spaces and reforestation. Although these actions have achieved their objective, much effort remains to be done to save our environment.

    Hello Sandy,
    this is your mentor WooJoo.

    I'm glad to read your first report finally!
    Thank you for sharing current environmental concerns of Guinea.
    In many parts of the world, including the Amazon, which is called as 'the lungs of mother Earth", are being destroyed, and we are losing our green areas too.
    Although this is a serious problem, I think the garbage-pollution ongoing in your country is a bit more serious.
    It is sad to see the polluted water, which serves as water supply to the citizens.
    If this problem continues, it will bring other consequences, such as diseases.
    So, I hope the garbage situation gets solved soon, by introducing recycling systems, and constructing a disposal area.

    Please remember to include references with links of the website, and for the pictures too.

    Regards,
    WooJoo

    Hello Sandy!
    It's your SJ mentor.

    Thank you for sharing current issue concerning with environmental management in Guinea.
    Due to deforestation, global climate change will be accelerated with the loss capability of photosynthesis of plants.
    Worldwide agreement is needed to prevent forest destruction and climate change.
    We should consider future Environmental Costs caused by sprawling development.
    Also, proper waste treatment system should be constructed to protect nationals from contagious disease.
    These efforts and awareness-raising actions can urge government to spur environment favorable development.
    Green cheers!

    Best regards,
    SJ mentor.
