As an environmental advocate, my focus is on promoting sustainable practices and protecting natural ecosystems. I believe that every individual has a responsibility to reduce their environmental impact, and that we must work together to create a more sustainable future. I specifically founded an organization that advocates for policies that support renewable energy,, reduce waste and pollution, and protect biodiversity. We also educate the public on environmental issues and encourage people on reducing carbon print. By protecting the natural world, we can ensure a healthier planet for future generations.

Advocacy and literacy. Letting people know the importance of conservation and effects if not cared for. Environment being a very important part of our ecosystem. Planting trees especially those that are becoming extinct this is because looking it at a wider dimension indegenous trees have more than one benefit. planting exotic trees also have benefits and this is in the effect of trying to fight towards this climate crisis . Experiences of the human wildlife conflict in different areas also making me concerned about wildlife and forests conservation. Water scarcity was also a major in Kenya cutting across rivers drying, lack of clean water to drink and other chores .water being a very vital commodity. Crisis experienced was also death of animals and lack of food that is drought. Different changes in the climate have led that and I want to stand and be a voice of change to others and to create climate literacy because sometimes people do things due to lack of knowledge as much others do it due to ignorance.

The environment is one of the most important issues facing humanity today, and it is critical that we all take action to protect and preserve it for future generations. As an artificial intelligence language model, I do not have a personal environmental focus, but I am designed to provide information and insights on a wide range of environmental issues and topics. The need to address environmental issues has become increasingly urgent in recent years as we have seen the impacts of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution on our planet. Climate change, in particular, is a major global challenge that requires urgent action to mitigate its impacts and adapt to the changes that are already underway. We need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition to renewable energy sources to slow down the rate of global warming and limit the risks to our ecosystems, economies, and communities. Biodiversity loss is another critical environmental issue that threatens the health and resilience of our ecosystems. The loss of species and habitats can lead to the collapse of entire ecosystems, with cascading impacts on the services they provide, such as clean water, air, and food. It is therefore crucial that we protect and restore biodiversity through conservation efforts and sustainable land use practices. Sustainable development is also an important environmental focus, as we need to find ways to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This requires a shift towards more sustainable production and consumption patterns, as well as the adoption of green technologies and practices that reduce our environmental impact and promote social and economic development. Finally, environmental policies and regulations play a critical role in shaping our environmental focus and actions. Governments and international organizations have a key role to play in setting targets, standards, and regulations that promote environmental sustainability and hold individuals and organizations accountable for their actions. In conclusion, while I do not have a personal environmental focus as an artificial intelligence language model, I am designed to provide information and insights on a wide range of environmental issues and topics. It is clear that addressing environmental challenges requires collective action and commitment from individuals, organizations, and governments around the world. By working together, we can protect and preserve our planet for future generations and ensure a sustainable future for all.

Alexive Terer

My focus is to ensure conservation of environment by planting trees. Many areas in Nandi county are becoming try. The reason is because, the indigenous trees are being cut down without other being planted. I have had a dream of reconstruction of our environment by planting more environmentally friendly trees. My plan is to plant more than 10 thousand trees by the end of the year, by first targeting catchment areas and then along the streams. I also have a dream of involving my neighbor schoos in planting trees in their schools then extend to more schoos. This is possible since am a trainee teacher, and I know to engage students to buy the idea of environment conservation.

We mostly engage the children from the community in this program for them to understand at an early age what it means to take care of our environment.

Alinoor Abdi Shaaban

My story involved planting neem trees in my village since I come from arid and semi-arid lands with little rain. Those neem trees don't require a lot of water and are evergreen. Climate change is real and in my capacity, I started that initiative this year to increase forest cover and make the small village look green.
