After the last year conference on Natural resources and Wildlife Conservation in Calabar, elsewhere in the state anchors more Bush burning and killings of wild animals.
Earlier last year along Ikom Ogoja road, a man just shot an antelope in a cool blooded afternoon. Whereas we were supposed to protect those animals as to keep our tourism in an incline plane. While the Ogoja popular forestry was under fire with fresh grasses still intact. Everyday bush burning, cutting of trees and lots more can only devalue our trait, reduce the effort the state Governor is putting to make sure in the nearest future we acclaim a height in the conservation industry so as to reduce global warming as to increase biofuel production and much more.
Does it mean that the talk didn’t get to the affected areas, or the people are still naive about Wildlife Conservation? Does it mean there was no proper interpretation of how we can conserve our natural resources? We ought to beo ahead of countries like Brazil where they have Amazon, and so on. We have to plan for a better Cross River by bringing back what the state is known for. But planting more trees, protecting our forest and animals since we no longer have the black gold (crude oil) which is neither selling.
But we have to do that by saying no to deforestation and yes to afforestation. By teaching our children to teach their children and together we can make Cross River the largest rainforest in the world tomorrow.
