WWF and the World Organization of the Scout Movement teamed up last year to inspire young people around the world to take action for nature.
We are now building on this commitment in Africa – agreeing to develop education programmes, projects and resources that will help five million young people across Africa take action on sustainable development in their schools, homes and communities.
WWF Africa Regional Director Frederick Kwame Kumah said: “We are passionate about preserving the Earth's natural environment and building a future in which we live in harmony with nature.
By working with the scout movement to educate young people to conserve biodiversity, ensure that natural resources are used sustainably, and promote a reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption, we hope to play our part in leaving a better word for future generations.”
