On 21, February, 2026, I had the incredible opportunity to go birdwatching around Kawajense-Mpanda, Katavi, I started bird watching from the human settlements up to Kawajense Hills. During my outing, I encountered primary students who are young bird hunters who had killed two species of sunbirds using manati and small stones. My heart ached to see these children killed these pollinator birds.
However, I seized the moment to sit down with them and discuss the importance of birds in our ecosystem. I was thrilled to hear their feedback they agreed to stop hunting and promised to raise awareness among their peers.
It's crucial to engage young children in schools about bird conservation and the significance of protecting our wildlife. Together, we can foster a new generation of environmental stewards!
