This blog has been started as part of a class in natural and environmental sciences at the American University of Nigeria. The purpose of this blog is to explore environmental issues facing Nigerians and to encourage discussion concerning these topics. It is our hope that through this blog we can reach out to fellow Nigerians and the world in a call to action to protect our environment. Our focus will start with the Niger Delta and the problems facing this region. As a class we recognize that despite worldwide awareness of this problem many Nigerians are either unaware our indifferent over the issue. Our goal is to change that and through the process remain open minded and adamant that we adhere to civil discourse. More to come....
