On TEK: “If you're multilingual & are fluent, you do not mix two languages; when you speak in English, you think in English & when you speak in Arabic, you think in Arabic. You become almost a different person because there is an entire culture associated with one language. (1/4)

Congrats, that’s incredible!
News coverage on national television on our recent opening of the Gumti ANI Outpost in the northern part of Gashaka Gumti National Park. Media coverage is essential to change hearts and minds in the general public about the importance of nature and biodiversity conservation!
