A ‘forest generation’ living in harmony with nature

By TED Countdown | October 23, 2020

We need to care for and live in harmony with the environment, says climate and gender activist Ernestine Leikeki Sevidzem. The best way to do that? Nurture a forest generation: one that learns to protect nature. Sevidzem shares how she’s educating both children and adults in her native Cameroon on what it means to love and preserve the Earth — and calls for all of us to foster generations that will inherit a mindset that works with nature, not against it.

This talk was presented at an official TED conference.
