Rising Up from the Rubble of Disasters

Rising Up from the Rubble of Disasters

Growing up near the Pacific Ocean, I have been used to typhoons -- it’s nothing new to me. Our house has always endured every storm and we seldom need to evacuate. Not until super typhoon Haiyan happened.

Super Typhoon Haiyan taught me that we should never waste time fighting for climate justice, our communities need justice from all the damages and devastation that climate change caused.

This story is my story on how I rose from the rubble of disasters.

The Thirsty Fisherman

This is a story of a naturally endowed region of Nigeria, a state likened to a proverbial food basket in which the carrier is starving. It is a short submission of how human activities have through cultural practices inflicted harm on the natural environment (biodiversity). Included in this story is the need to reverse the negative trends and review steps towards achieving sustainable and harmless biodiversity.
