ADVOCACY
Sensitization on Biodiversity Conservation and Ecosystem Management
Eletu Odibo Senior High School, Abule Oja, visited the Centre on an educational excursion that featured a guided tour of the campus mangrove ecosystem. The visit provided students with a unique opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge of biodiversity and the ecological importance of mangrove habitats. Through interactions with experts and field observations, the students learned about the role of mangroves in supporting wildlife, protecting coastlines, and mitigating climate change, while fostering a greater appreciation for environmental conservation and sustainable ecosystem management.
