She identified the misuse of natural resources and the impacts of climate change as the primary environmental challenges, noting that these issues constitute a growing concern requiring greater awareness and collective action.<\/p>\n<p>The gathering fostered a spirit of intergenerational connection, with 100-year-old Jo\u00e3o Lu\u00eds Delgado expressing his delight at participating and highlighting the intrinsic value of trees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrees provide wood, shade, and fruit; they represent progress for our land,\u201d he remarked, arguing that younger generations must step up and assume the responsibility of caring for the environment.<\/p>\n<p>Among the younger participants, Tiana Martins\u2014a third-grade student\u2014underscored the importance of protecting nature and urged her classmates to refrain from littering or damaging plants. Along the same lines, Wagner de Pina\u2014also a third-grade student\u2014expressed the view that planting trees contributes to \u201cgood breathing\u201d and a healthy environment, and that their preservation is essential for survival on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>World Earth Day, celebrated annually on April 22, is an observance established in 1970 by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson following a major oil spill, mobilizing millions of people in the United States for the environmental cause.<\/p>\n<p>The objective is to draw attention to challenges such as climate change, pollution, deforestation, and the degradation of natural resources, and to encourage actions such as environmental education, tree planting, ecosystem cleanup, and the use of renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Cape verde<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Cape verde.
