Biodiversity conservation and climate change series launched

Jun 29, 2012 News

The Ministry of Education in collaboration with Conservation International – Guyana, yesterday launched its new television series on Biodiversity Conservation and Climate Change, at Queen’s College.
The series is an initiative of the Ministry of Education through its National Centre for Educational Resource Development (NCERD) department. The programme is intended to edify the public and essentially enhance their awareness about biodiversity and climate change. However, it is essentially designed to “capture children’s attention.”
Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand, in her feature address, asserted that Guyana is “perfectly capable of taking care of herself with the help of all of us”. Manickchand said that citizens should always seek to preserve their country and her Ministry is doing its part to make persons more conscious of biodiversity conservation. She said that the programme informs any viewer of the practical information needed.
The Minister noted that she was pleased to read that at least two of the top Common Entrance students had indicated their interest in pursuing science. According to Manickichand, the series is also aimed at reinvigorating students’ interest in that subject area.
She said she wishes not only for the students to watch the series and cheer, but to ask questions and seek answers.
Manickchand pointed out that children all across the country that do not have access to a library will be able to see the series and be adequately informed.
The series will be aired on The Learning Channel.
“So after all of this, we won’t see people cutting down our trees and staying quiet, we won’t allow at attempt to harm the Golden Frog, which can be only found in the park at Kaieteur Falls, and let it go unheard of because now we know the importance of all of natural resources,” the Minister stated emphatically.
