Humming Bird Awards 2022
Narration
Am Joseph sila currently at Africa Nazarene university a member of the wildlife and environmental club. I started my environmental conservation when i was at class three. since i was born has managed to plant around 15,000 different species of tress in different areas including my home place. December rain season alone I planted 1,500 cypress trees at our family in kitui county,200 pawpaw trees, and 300 eucalyptus trees at my nearby primary school. All these attempts have been trying to change the notion that kitui is a dry area which most people believe to be, but it is not the case. I also participate in community sensitization to conserve the environment by planting more trees and replacing them whenever one cuts any tree.
IN addition, have been sensitizing them also to use biological methods to control pests and diseases instead of chemicals. This is because chemicals kill insects and birds that land and enjoy on these crops including hummingbirds and another different type of birds. I do that because when these birds and insects die and become extinct our future generation will not find them which is a bad example.
In high school, i was rewarded as the best community sensitizer as I used to sensitize my fellow students and community to preserve indigenous trees and animals and control diseases in plants by biological methods.
Have also sensitizing fellow youths against poaching. I was very much angered on this issue when the biggest elephant in Botswana was killed by trophy hunters and started writing an article persuading the mass to illegalize it.https://forms.gle/kTGRRXTDumj9MNSy9
