The Solomon Islands Rangers Association have recently completed their second school awareness programme at St Joseph’s Tenaru National Secondary School.

Edward Huitarau of SI Rangers said this is the second school they visited after having successfully visited St Mary’s Tanaghai Community High School on Monday this week.

He said the awareness campaign aims to inform students about the consequences of logging and mining activities in the Solomon Islands, captured by the theme: “Be the Voice for Future Generations.”

It was funded by the European Forest Institute (EFI).

Huitarau said there was a significant turnout of both teachers and students who participated in the informative awareness session, which featured an engaging interactive presentation.

He stated that the effectiveness of the program relies on the keen engagement of students with their teachers, fostering a collective dedication to environmental conservation and sustainable resource management.

Huitarau said the school awareness programme aims to nurture a generation of environmentally aware leaders who can advocate for sustainable practices in their communities.

He mentioned that his team also donated two copies of the Rangers Manual Guides to the school, to support students in their education and provide valuable resources for effective conservation advocacy.

Huitarau acknowledged the Roman Catholic Education Provider, the school administration and the dedicated teachers in ensuring the success of the school awareness event.

The session concluded with a quiz and prizes awarded to students, ensuring that the knowledge acquired is both significant and enduring.
