*Food for thought*

*"Retreat into the bush"*

-Standing in the middle of a bush in kartong reflectively!

-Driven by intense curiosity to scout the ground and to communicate with nature directly!

-The density of the leaves of tall trees are barring sunlight from reaching the bush ground competitively!

-The chances of survival for the short trees and shrubs are minimal botanically!

-Tranquility of the bush is refreshing to the mind holistically!

-The pressures of town and city lives are eliminated by the salubrious breeze of the trees gently!

-Each plant in the community sings a special song with its leaves and trunks melodically!

-The unique power of god is manifested in the cool breeze release through the trees measuredly!

-Why should men destroy these uncountable environmental bounties of the creator to man freely?

*Why should one exchange the life sustaining womb of nature with the tomb of environmental death permanently* ?

-If a fool is made a driver,the lives of the passengers become a toy in his untrained hands playfully!

-Why are we quickening the speed of our own termination by destroying the environment suicidally?

-Never consider death a friend or a companion because it will betray you one day inevitably.

-An important message from the trees to the Gambian people:you have very limited time to live as a nation if you continue to destroy us at the pace you are currently doing aggressively!

-We are here on earth to fulfil the will of the creator for your sustenance subserviently.

-But the day, the trees strike back against environmental oppression and aggression, no soul will be spared the dire consequences collectively or individually .

Good afternoon to all.

NEA outlines importance of coastal zones
Sep 12, 2023, 11:12 AM | Article By: Fatou Dem

The executive director of the National Environmental Agency (NEA) has stressed the importance of trees and their sustainability along the coastal communities.

Dawda Badjie, who was speaking during the launching of the second phase of coconut tree planting along the coastline from Senegambia to Jinack Island, North Bank Region, said such activities seek to benefit the coastal communities and help to attract certain aspects of climate change such as social, economic and environmental consideration of people’s wellbeing.

The project was supported by the Global Climate Change Alliance GCCA+ Climate Resilient Coastal and Marine Zone project for the Gambia and funded by the European Union in partnership with the government of The Gambia.

The project aims at consolidating results and positive experiences of the previous GCCA project “support to The Gambia for Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) and the mainstreaming of climate change” 2013-2016.

“Over 60 per cent of The Gambia's population lives around the coastal zones - measuring about 80 kilometers of an open zone line and a 200 kilometer of the center zone”, executive director said.

He added that planting trees along the coast is not something new but the result overtime is not encouraging. “We have been planting trees but we don’t take care of them”, Mr. Badjie stressed.

He further warned that this could easily disappear in the near future if concerted effort to protect the coastal zone of the country is not calculated. “We are working to make sure that we restore Gambia’s lost ecosystem.”

Kemo Fatty, executive director for Green Up Gambia, expressed concern over the country’s vulnerability to sea level rise. He said studies indicated that Banjul is about one meter off sea level rise. Half of the city would be inundated and the entire capital city of Banjul would be left uninhabited if nothing is done.
