The NEA joined with UNEP and other groups to discuss land care and improving the world around us. Thanks to money from GEF, they met at Baobab Holiday Resort. The meeting started a project called ECOSERV Gambia, which helped the Great Green Wall plan.
NEA boss Dr. Dawda Badjie said many things hurt our world. He asked all people in The Gambia to help stop these harms. He spoke about how the place we live faces big dangers. These include changing weather, fewer plants and animals, cutting down trees, trash problems, wrong use of chemicals, land damage, dirty air, and harm to coastal areas. All these make life worse for people and animals.
Dr. Badjie explained that every country must guard human health and nature from bad land care. The Gambia has made rules to keep the land safe for today and tomorrow. He said the meeting shows they care about both nature and health because these two are linked.
Ebrima Colley from the Environment Ministry talked for Minister Rohey John Manjang. He said The Gambia faces many hard tasks like earth problems, money troubles, poor roads and buildings, old tools, plus social and office blocks.
Colley described the Great Green Wall as a bold plan to fight sand spread, grow more food, and better care for the land. When The Gambia joined this plan, they did more than plant trees. They began to grow wealth, teamwork, and earth care.
The Great Green Wall fits with what The Gambia wants to do. It matches their hopes for lasting nature care, better lives, and meeting world goals. This plan brings together many parts of nature care, just like The Gambia wants to do with their land work. Being part of the Great Green Wall lets them share ideas with other places, learn new skills, and build up their know-how. These things help them put good plans to work. The Gambia can use teamwork and shared stuff to fix their earth troubles through this plan.
The main aim of The Gambia is to fix hurt land and help more plants and animals live there. This means making better land that has been harmed and helping all kinds of green things and critters do well.
Emmanuel Adonsu, who runs the GEF project, called the start a light of hope. He said the plan tries to turn bad land into good land and keep using the best ways to care for it. This can create jobs for local folks and help them earn money.
