Tanzania Forest Agency Trains Enviromental Teachers To Become Good Ambassadors In Spearheading War Against Climate Change
AS severe effects of climate change continues to upset food production and environmental sector in the world, Tanzania is curving its own niche to fight against the environmental scourge.
In what can be described as “New Approach“, the Government of Tanzania, through the Tanzania Forest Services Agency (TFS) is now working to impart environment teachers with vital knowledge and skills, necessary needed to fuel the battle against climate change.
The vision of this strategy is to create a future generation which is equipped with enough knowledge on how best to cheat effects of climate change.
As part of this strategy, TFS in collaboration with the Dodoma Regional Education Office, have organised a special training clinic towards the enviromental teachers in Dodoma Region.
Held for two consecutive days (July 29 -30), at the Mtemi Mazengo Primary School, in Dodoma Capital City, the training focused to empower participants over the meaning, causes and effects of climate change, especially at school premises.
The facilitator of the training, TFS Conservation Officer, Zureikha Abubakary Kachwamba, challenged the participants to employ innovative intrigues in order to successifuly imparting the students with the enviromental- friendly knowledge.
He insisted that the focus is to equip students with key information on important of conserving the environment.
The Dodoma Regional Education Officer, Mwalimu Kiduma, graced the training.
He commended TFS for joining the country’s efforts in the dissemination of helpful awareness pertaining to effects of climate change.
He observed that, rolling out of the training was prudent to help moulding the future generation with sensitive awareness on environmental conservation, insisting that the trainings must go in tandem with tree planning campaign at schools, and at student’s residents.
Moreover, he urged the participants to sensitize and venture into beekeeping initiatives, saying apart from doubling their incomes, the project will also negate effects of climate change.
Climate change in Tanzania causes severe droughts, intense flooding, and rising sea levels, which harm farming, water supplies, and coastal areas.
