The Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority is expanding its conservation education program by visiting schools to promote environmental stewardship and domestic tourism. Officials recently engaged with students at Banjika Secondary School in the Arusha Region, delivering lessons on the importance of protecting natural resources and highlighting local tourist attractions.
Michael Makombe, the Chief Conservation Officer for Marketing, stated that the initiative aims to equip students with knowledge and skills, positioning them as ambassadors for conservation. The program includes forming school environmental clubs and involves distributing tree seedlings to various districts to instill a culture of environmental care.
The Headmistress of Banjika Secondary School, Ritha Uwo, acknowledged that the Authority has supplied all the trees planted at the school for many years. She urged the continuation of these educational efforts, noting that the lessons students learn often influence their families, thereby broadening the impact of conservation and tourism awareness.
