The core of our efforts is to bring our team’s fresh ideas and passion for the range of environmental activities we were involved in through scientific research and indegenous knowledge exchange. Through all of our endeavors, we hope to display the conviction behind our beliefs
Our Dream: Our dream as #Kang4Nature is to create a network, a space for youth support and cooperation, to leave our environment better than we found them. We aim to create Leaders who will ensure they create a Ripple effect in their institutions through our Environmental Education Programmes.
