We cannot achieve our climate targets without simultaneously protecting and restoring nature. Nature calls for us to invest in her protection and not pay for her destruction. Nature should be central in our individual behaviour, our policy setting, and all our investment choices.

Trees are natural friends and life without trees means life without love. Through our ‘Adopt a tree campaign’, we are inspiring people and especially children to plant, nurture and adopt trees to maturity. In the process, they love nature and connect to nature at a young age.�?��?💚

Forests breathe, listen and answer. They are home to 80% of the world's terrestrial biodiversity. They are home to us. Healthy forests are vital for our very survival. We cannot achieve any climate targets without simultaneously protecting and restoring nature. #IntlForestDay

US congress approves just $1 billion in international climate finance for 2022, falling short of Joe Biden's pledge to raise $11.4 billions a year by 2024 to support developing countries. Betrayal! We cannot live on words and empty promises..�?

May I also add that careless disposal of masks poses a new threat. Most of these masks are produced from plastic. We need a nationwide system to facilitate collection and proper disposal before millions of masks end up in our oceans, rivers, lakes and clog our drainage systems.

The forest road incidence of a young woman sexually assaulted by Boda Boda riders is heartbreaking!💔 This isn’t a new fight yet arrests are only made after public uproar. Depressing that we’re still fighting it. There are more out there that must be stopped! Break the silence.
