We celebrated earth day with the given theme “Invite in our planet” with an environmental Youth Talk delivered by Mr. Nicolas heard – Fund Manager at Mohammed Bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund, who gave a presentation, explaining details about the process of the Mohammed Bin Zayed Species conservation fund investments Internationally focusing on endangered and critically endangered species that are not well known. So far, the fund has been extended to more than 160 countries. Mr. Heard mentioned that preventing extinction of species is crucial because other than the services they provide and intrinsic value that up to date was not yet discovered. Amongst their values are precautionary principals, cultural values, and the moral value to protect mother nature. To conserve species, you need to know about it, its status, habitat, ecological status, biological status, threats...ect. You also need to engage with the community schools, local elders, land custodians and dedicate, passionate, and proactive people.
