</translate> | The Association Burundaise pour la protection de la Nature (ABN) was approved on 8 April 2000 by the Ministry of Interior by ministerial order No. 530/231, as a non-profit non-governmental organisation (NGO), under the name of the Association burundaise pour la protection des oiseaux, "ABO" in its acronym. It became the Association burundaise pour la protection de la nature (ABN) on 7 September 2013 to better suit its programmes of activities aimed at the conservation of all components of the natural environment.
ABN's vision is "A Burundi living in harmony with nature through the equitable and rational use of the resources of the natural environment". ABN's mission is "to contribute to the conservation of nature, the sustainable use of natural resources and the sustainable use of ecosystem services for the benefit of the Burundian population". The objectives of the ABN are : to promote the love and conservation of nature in all social categories in Burundi, to bring together friends of nature around the objective of its preservation, rehabilitation and sustainable use of its resources to set up programmes of activities that contribute to the conservation of nature and the sustainable use of its resources to contribute to the improvement of the living conditions of the populations in the areas of intervention ABN has already implemented more than 50 projects in its various fields of intervention, notably in the conservation of protected areas, watersheds, wetlands and landscapes; the protection of biodiversity; the conservation of natural ecosystems; advocacy; the improvement of the living conditions of communities; capacity building; environmental education and awareness raising. To conduct the project we are applying for, we carry it out in collaboration with community groups, local government and Lake Rweru managers. ABN has a qualified staff to implement project activities. We have 6 full-tme individuals and 4 volunteers, with an executive committee of 5 members and a supervisory board of 3 people. To implement its programme, ABN has a five-year strategic plan and an annual action plan to monitor its activities. The current ABN strategic plan 2021-2025 reflects the important effort that needs to be made to counter the various challenges related to the protection of the natural environment in a developing country and the nuisances we are regularly confronted with, such as erosion, deforestation, pollution, destruction of vegetation cover, overexploitation of natural resources and its disastrous consequences, up to the new environmental challenges of climate change and invasive alien species. ABN has adopted the participatory approach and works closely with existing and self-initiated community groups, supporting them with income-generating activities for their food security and testing nature-based solutions.In the implementation of its activities, ABN joins other local and international organisations and networks such as Birdlife International, IUCN, CMS, FCBN, OSCE, AEWA, Wetland International with which it has very good relations, and is inspired by international conventions such as the RAMSAR Convention and the Convention on Biological Diversity | |

Introduction: The Clean Earth Action (CEA) is an inspiring environmentally sustainable education project that collaborates with various educational institutions in Tanzania, Uganda, Cameroon, Zambia, Malawi and Bangladesh. With a primary focus on educating children and young people about the environmental crisis, CEA equips them with the necessary knowledge and skills to combat climate change. Through strategic partnerships with primary schools and secondary schools, CEA aims to educate the future leaders about Kids Rights, youth rights, and the importance of environmental sustainability. Educating and Empowering Youth: 1. Raising Awareness about the Environmental Crisis: CEA recognizes the urgency of the environmental crisis and endeavors to educate children and young people about the various challenges faced by our planet. From deforestation and pollution to climate change and biodiversity loss, CEA creates awareness campaigns that inform students about these critical issues and their potential impact on their lives and future generations. 2. Developing Environmental Literacy: CEA believes in the power of knowledge and empowers young individuals by developing their environmental literacy. By incorporating environmental education into school curricula, CEA instills a sense of responsibility and respect for the natural world. Through engaging activities, workshops, and interactive sessions, students gain a comprehensive understanding of sustainable practices, conservation efforts, and green technologies. 3. Encouraging Active Participation and Skills Development: CEA encourages young people to be active agents in the fight against climate change. The project organizes various initiatives, such as tree planting campaigns, waste management programs, and renewable energy workshops. Engaging students in hands-on activities not only instills a sense of ownership and responsibility but also equips them with practical skills to make a positive impact on their environment. Promoting Kids Rights and Youth Rights: 1. Teaching Kids Rights: CEA perceives education as a tool for empowerment, extending beyond environmental sustainability. By partnering with primary schools, CEA incorporates education on Kids Rights into their curriculum. Children learn about their rights, such as the right to clean air, water, and a healthy environment. Through engaging and age-appropriate teaching methods, CEA instills in children an understanding of their rights and the importance of protecting them. 2. Empowering Youth Rights: In collaboration with secondary schools, CEA focuses on education related to youth rights. Teenagers and young adults learn about their role in shaping a sustainable future and advocating for environmental justice.
