Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The Kanifing Municipal Council in collaboration with the Bakau Environment Movement has planted five thousand mangrove trees in Cape Point, Bakau as part of its fight against climate change in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe project will plant 190, 000 trees over three years to improve resilience, biodiversity, air quality, and increase the quality of life of its residents.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will be done through a participatory process involving all stakeholders. In a similar engagement, the project provided the All Gambia Forestry Platform (AGFP) with 1000 trees that were planted at the Old Cycle tract in Kotu. The tree planting exercise was also carried out on the same day (27\/08\/22). Therefore, any individuals, organization, or youth group interested in planting trees in the Municipality can reach out to the project team at the main KMC headquarters,\u201d mayor Ahmed Talib Bensouda said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, mayor Ahmed Talib Bensouda also said the youth are the engine of the country and they are very interested and passionate about football and sports in general.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe footballs are not much because it\u2019s just 15 footballs per team. It will not give them all they need, but it\u2019s just a start to help improve the Championships and the \u2018Nawettans\u2019 in their zones. This year, KMC will begin the construction of 7 parks, and each park will have a football pitch, which will be a six-a-side football pitch.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will also have an outdoor gym and children\u2019s playground. We will start the construction by next month (September 2022). The first will be at the Buff zone and the second one will be at Bakau and the five will be separated around the municipality,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said that sports can create income and be a powerhouse if smartly invested in, and urged other regional administrations and the Government to invest more in grassroots football saying \u201cthe youth of the country can do more if little is invested in them\u201d.<\/p>\n
