A leading environmental advocate asked Rotary Club members in Kabale City to help fight climate change through conservation. Evelyne Ninsiima Kikafunda spoke at the White Horse Inn, urging everyone to protect nature regardless of their background. She explained that people can save the environment without special training. The global crisis needs immediate attention from all communities. She heads the Green Environment Promotion Group as its president.
Trees disappear at shocking rates worldwide, with about 15 billion cut down yearly, Kikafunda told the audience. She shared her mission to plant one billion trees throughout her lifetime. She recommended solar power as an energy alternative. She wants more biodegradable materials created to cut pollution. Protected areas should expand to save natural habitats from harm.
Kikafunda taught the Rotarians four main conservation principles: Reduce, Recycle, Reuse, and Rewild. She pointed to Kigali as an example of city cleanliness worth copying and suggested planting fruit trees along Kabale streets for both beauty and food benefits. Local leaders must advocate for environmental protection in their speeches and actions. Rotarians can teach others about responsible practices that protect nature.
