As I watched the canoes ferry people across the Yauri River, it was very refreshing to experience the soothing feel of the late afternoon cool breeze; and also gaze at the dazzling reflection of the sunset on the surface of the waters. Caring for and protecting our ecosystem is a collective responsibility. Together, we can rise up to the task!
