Activists and stakeholders have called for the development of a new, community-driven model of environmental protection that places indigenous knowledge, local languages, and collective action at the center of efforts to address the ecological crisis in the Niger Delta. The call emerged from a one-day brainstorming session organized by the Health of Mother Earth Foundation (HOMEF) in Port Harcourt, which celebrated the legacy of the late Ogoni environmental activist, Ken Saro-Wiwa, and challenged the younger generation to sustain the struggle for environmental justice.
The newly established MEEDECOR Ecological Knowledge Centre aims to bridge the gap between knowledge and action by providing relevant information and empowering communities to take greater responsibility for the protection of their environment.
