Why did I continue to ambassador for Tunza Eco-Generation in Madagascar? |
|---|
|
When I joined Tunza in March 2014, I had it in mind to extend my reach to Cameroon and beyond. Particularly sub-Saharan Africa, touching almost all countries within the powers I had. I realized Africa is suffering the same problems every where: food insecurity, hunger, floods, diseases, drought and you can name it. When WWF gave me the opportunity to go to Madagascar and work for conservation, I knew it was time for me to extend information and knowledge about our beautiful planet earth to this other part of Africa. Before I left for Madagascar, I realized that Africans were having the same problem: lack of information. Somebody who could tell them how their day to day proceedings contribute to the degradation of our own planet. Somebody to educate the people, so that they can understand a healthy environment means sustainability and productivity. I decided, I will be the person who will lend a hand to pass a message about the environment to the Malagasy people. A good message to inform and educate them about saving planet earth. Just like Cameroonians are clearing their forests, mangroves, killing important threatened, animal species in the vein of: lions, leopards, tortoise, monkeys, hippopotamus just to name a few. Malagasy people are over fishing, destroying coral reefs, cutting forest and equally killing different animal species. Looking at the reach biodiversity Madagascar is having: more than 950 medicinal, a great number of fish species and more than 500 animal species, made me even more determined to evangelize about climate change and other environmental ills to them. The children you see me here with me, are the light of tomorrow?s Madagascar and I said to myself I must give them what I know which can help them change their own very course and give a better future to them. So, I ventured for three months and today, I am proud to say 300 children, 100 women and 40 men received my counsel concerning how to lead a healthy life style friendly for the environment. This achievement I share with 5 other WWF volunteer with whom I was working in Madagascar. |

You have really done a great job. You really are devoted to the environment conservation. If all youths like you realize their responsibility, there would have been no problem in sustainable development and living. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful thoughts.

Cool pictures! I am interested in knowing how you structured your classes and/or workshops. Did you focus on teaching them broad-scale phenomena like global warming or did you talk more about every day habits that they could take on to be more sustainable? I have a friend who did something similar in Panama, and she said that the kids were so fascinated and curious by the natural environment that she had great fun. It looks like you did too!

Great work, Israel! I feel really, really proud of you!
The children and the nature of Madagascar is so beautiful, I can understand why Malagasy people are deteriorating the environment without knowing environmental issues. Because it's around them, so beautiful, everywhere!

It's sad that Malagasy people are overfishing , destroying coral reefs thereby harming the biodiversity of the region. Ambassadors and environment advocates like you can play a big role in changing their mindset . You did a good job by educating these many children , women and men. Really appreciable. Thanks for sharing your accomplishment.

Its a commendable job that you are doing now!!Bravo Israel.
So far I have understood the cause of environmental degradation, the problem is deep routed with economic crisis and lack of political will. Local people are just a way of expression of how problems are engulfing environmental resources.
