NEW PROGRAM IN KUNDUCHI
POSTED BY PHILLIP WANGWE. AS A MASSAGE TO PEOPLE.
If
sustainable development is truly to be our common goal, it must engage the
interests and actions, not only of government experts, but of all Tanzanians in
all walks of life. Environmental
management must be everybody's responsibility.
Everyone has the opportunity to make environmentally-responsible choices
that can reduce or minimise risky impacts on the environment and promote
sustainable development. That
responsibility can only be met through cooperative efforts at all levels of
society. The actions of all Tanzanians
as consumers and producers, as business operators and as policy-makers have an
impact on the environment. Section 32 of
National Environmental Policy (1997).
As it is stated in the National Environmental
Policy; While actions of one person or group alone may appear insignificant,
those of twenty-five million Tanzanians do matter when combined at local,
regional and national levels. The
protection of the environment shall be the responsibility of each and every
Tanzanian, just as the quality of the environment is a concern for each and all.
Section 32 of National Environmental Policy (1997).
Dar-es-salaam
is among of the regions in Tanzania which are under great pressure of many
environmental problems including in coastal surroundings pollution, toxic
wastes dispositions, deforestation and destruction of mangroves and othe
aquetic plants, and illegal use of
natural resources.
The dream of having sustainable environmental
management is facing some challenges due
to the lack of awareness campaign in many coastal communities base line,
especially in Dar es salaam public beaches and fishing sites along the Dar es
salaam Indian ocean beach including Kunduchi beach village. The aim of this
program is to install in this community
the culture of coastal environmental conservation and management through the
anti-pollution campaign based on providing awareness workshop. All this project
aims on aquring community participation towards formulation of the major
project which is to be conducted in Kunduchi beach fishing area as to ensure a
permanent solution against environmental distruction at this fishing area.
