The Environmental awareness among people  in Hargeisa

Mustafe Sulub Muhumed

 

 

The local people of Hargeisa, specially, who living the district of 26 June

are aware that cutting trees without replacing them has created an environmental problem

for the community.

 

People of that district also are aware that dumping waste or plastics on

the streets has created an environmental problem for their community.

 

Mukhtar, a Secondary teacher said, “We educate most of the people, students go

their home and they also tell what good for the environment the most of other

community”.

 

A survey that I did  shows that around 87 percent of the local

community are aware and nearly 12 percent are not aware that the trees is resource of

food for them.

 

What is more, the survey shows that the communities of the district are

aware approximately 93% that dumping waste or plastics on the streets has created

environmental problems and 6% percent are not.
