    According to Mukemfor Hycinth Suh coordinator of Better World Students Nature Club (BNSC), the NGO which is open to all students and youths in general is an expression and the desire of youths to use environment care as a base for promoting the culture of peace and development.

    The initiative has created opportunities for youths to access information on biodiversity and climate change.

    “We set up environment clubs in schools to spread the notion of reconnecting youths to the land as a means of improving urban life, promoting nature conservation and integrated development”, Mukemfor said.

    More than that, BNSC promotes participatory environment education, training and sensitisation activities for health improvement, poverty reduction with focus on hygiene.
