Championing tomorrow’s environmentalists at Chumbe Island, Zanzibar
Each year, Chumbe Island Coral Park’s (CHICOP) Environmental Education programme welcomes about 400 students, 50 teachers and 200 community members to Chumbe Island. Welcoming locals, as well as tourists, raises awareness about coral reef conservation and sustainable fishing practices. In 2018, Chumbe Island also took this commitment into local communities. The Let’s Do It! global clean-up initiative provided the opportunity to get over 100 people to collect 86 bags of plastic from their village beach. CHICOP also organised a waste competition and awarded local school girl Zulfa Edison Masania “Waste Champion 2018” for collecting 15 bags of waste in three hours.
