In this third episode, we host two youth leaders: Vinamra Mathur, from India, PhD student and the Youth4Nature regional director for Asia-Pacific, and Jennifer Hong from Canada, a policy analyst with Natural Resources Canada. Both are mobilizing young people around the world towards nature and forest conservation through their respective spheres of influence. And today they share with us the story behind Faces of Forestry, a campaign to promote and showcase the diversity of the forest sector and provide a platform for individuals to share their lived experiences and perspectives in the sector.
Our guests share with us their personal journeys into the forest sector and the work that they are doing with youth in nature conservation. They then discuss the imperative and value of storytelling as a novel communication tool being adopted by young people to transmit messages and reflect the diversity of experiences within the forest sector. They underline how storytelling has changed the face of environmental advocacy as a medium of mobilizing masses and sharing perspectives of marginalized voices. Further, they guide us through how the Faces of Forestry campaign will rally young people and interested persons around the world to the cause of forests.
Lastly, they share with us their opinion about multi-stakeholder international events like the World Forestry Congress and what can be done to fully leverage on international events and their reach, especially when it comes to youth representation and storytelling.
Listen and enjoy the voices of people and forests!
