70% of Africa’s population is under 35, making youth an important part of our society. If we want to address the challenges of #biodiversity and the climate crisis, we must actively engage the youth, not just for today but for the future. Simangele Msweli-Ratsoana 🇿🇦🇰🇪 #GLFAfrica

Youth are the heart of Africa's regreening efforts.- Simangele Msweli-Ratsoana 🇿🇦🇰🇪, of AWF. With 70% of Africa's population youthful, their role in restoring our landscapes is critical. They are the present and future, and it's essential to involve them in every step. 🌱✊

Mrs. Simangele Msweli-Ratsoana 🇿🇦🇰🇪 response to the question, "How do we engage youths in landscape restoration?" Going into the future: 1. Inspire those who are currently not taking action. 2. Conservation is done by people, so let's invest in the leadership skills of these individuals.
