He shared examples of youth taking the lead in environmental conservation efforts, from tree planting to sustainable farming. The talk didn’t just stop at raising awareness—it served as a call to action.

It belongs to everyone, and youth are uniquely positioned to drive creative and lasting solutions. By using a mass communication platform like radio, SOLFA ensured that the message reached a broader audience, inspiring a wider circle of involvement. This initiative laid the groundwork for increased collaboration between local youth groups, NGOs, and policymakers. It ultimately highlighted the power of dialogue and awareness in cultivating informed, motivated, and resilient youth who are ready to protect their future.
