KWA NINI UNAJALI ? - MABADILIKO YA TABIANCHI

MY HOME... …is just a five minute walk away from a rocky beach. Growing up, I spent a lot of time playing in
the sea and the lush greens surrounded by the beach. The island used to be clean and pristine.
This is not the case anymore.
Now, you see plastic and litter everywhere. The houses close to the beach suffer from swarms of flies because of the litter dumped in the sea. It is hard to not be passionate about the environment especially if you have lived and felt its power as I have. I love the green lush jungle too, I can tell you exactly how many types of plants there are near my home and what their names are. Growing up, I saw with my own eyes how erosion can be slowed down by tree roots, and that my home is so dependent on the environment I live in. Fishing is one of the biggest industries here, weekdays fishing boats come and go, bringing in significant income for the islanders. Tuna, Snapper, Marlin… fishing is the lifeblood for Maldivians, an integral part of their existence. But that is changing fast.
