The project seeks to exploit the creativity of young environmental ambassadors (ages 10 years and above) in the community to explore nature allowing them to engage with photography in a unique and accessible way.

The degradation that emerges due to overdependence on forest for livelihood and corrupt logging practices is an increasingly difficult problem to address.  

In promoting self-reflective approach to encountering the unsustainable exploitation of natural resources and contribute to an increased presence of environmental cognizance by equipping young people with the knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to help facilitate such endeavors, the MegWah team utilized a unique visual approach for youth to directly participate in developing a new outlook on nature, fostering a distinctive type of thinking and knowing of self, others, and the World.

The first phase of the project got the involvement of 30 community children/youth who were taken to the Limbe Botanic Garden to explore the Garden, identify any #Biologicalspecies within the Garden, observe the problem(s) faced by the species and take a photo of same.

In the second phase, they printed out 10 photos  of 10 different species, explained why the species, the problem(s) faced by the species and the solutions(s) proposed to conserve the species before a panel of judges, wherein three(3) children/youth emerged as winners of the exercise and were awarded prizes of school bags, books and other didactic materials.
