EcoTraining has announced that on 22 April each year, the United Nations' International Mother Earth Day serves as a poignant reminder of our collective responsibility to nurture and safeguard the ecosystems of our planet.
The day recognises the Earth and its ecosystems as humanity's common home and the need to protect her to enhance people's livelihoods, counteract climate change and stop the collapse of biodiversity.
Against the backdrop of this global call to action, EcoTraining says it stands as an inspiration of hope and progress. With over three decades of dedicated service to environmental education and conservation, EcoTraining has empowered more than 14 000 individuals, locally and internationally, to become stewards of nature.
Through immersive courses that delve deep into the intricacies of our natural world, EcoTraining not only cultivates a profound understanding of ecosystems but also instills a sense of responsibility towards their preservation, says Ecotraining.
"We take immense pride in the guardians of nature that emerge not only from our students but also within the communities that we operate and lead by example. At EcoTraining, we believe that nurturing this sense of responsibility towards our natural world is paramount in creating a sustainable future for our planet," says managing director Anton Lategan.
According to EcoTraining, with a diverse array of courses ranging from six-day nature programs to one-year professional accredited Field Guide courses and online modules, EcoTraining remains at the forefront of environmental education in Africa.
By fostering a deep connection between individuals and their natural surroundings, EcoTraining adds that it not only prepares future conservation leaders but also nurtures a deep appreciation for the Earth.
As we commemorate International Mother Earth Day in 2024, EcoTraining reaffirms its commitment to environmental stewardship. EcoTraining says it continues to highlight and act on global initiatives aimed at rejuvenating our planet's ecosystems.
EcoTraining concludes that by integrating conservation and protection into all aspects of its curriculum, it ensures that each student emerges not only as a knowledgeable guide but as a passionate advocate for the Earth.
