In this second instalment of our interview with Dr Salamatu Fada, Glenn continues his discussion with Dr Fada about her work in Nigeria with JAVS, an environmental care consultancy, and Talafi, which focuses on social issues and dynamics, how they relate to environmentalism and taking action to address them. Both of these vehicles represent Dr Fada’s work on climate action. The discussion turns to progress on the climate emergency and the action, or lack of action, taken by leaders and politicians around the world. But importantly, what more we can do, on the ground and at the grassroots, especially in Africa. Finally the discussion turns to Dr Fada’s role in public life and local politics, her motivations and the importance of role-modelling and representation. Dr Fada has a PhD in conservation biology, originally from Nigeria now residing in Bangor, in the north of Wales where she chairs the North Wales Africa Society.----more---- Hub Cymru Africa: hubcymruafrica.wales Sub-Sahara Advisory Panel: ssap.org.uk Africa Welsh News: africawelshnews.com North Wales Africa Society: northwalesafricasociety.org
