Protecting our planet’s natural resources Better Bigger Faster (this website is on processs of building)
The mandate of BES mainly focuses on environmental protection related issues.
Horn of Africa is
known for its pastoralist communities and relatively harsh climate. Pastoralist
communities have suffered from a lack of social stability due to a lack of
suitable local planning and governance. The prolonged conflicts because of the
collapse of the Somali central government in 1991 further enflamed the
situation. Climate change effects in the form of recycling droughts and floods
have been occurring, weakening the traditional capacity of pastoral systems to
cope with the environmental stress intrinsic to these regions. Environmental
degradation and loss of livelihood, often led to famine, further worsened the
situation. Many local refugees depended on wildlife for nutrition, cutting
trees for building new shelters, and selling them as wood or charcoal. All
these natural and human-made calamities have degraded the environment and
natural resources

Lack of financial
means and local capacity to collect the waste and build sewerages have turned
urban centers into difficult places to live. Many locals and policymakers are worrying
about the aforementioned problems and particularly the operational areas of our
organization, the BES. In general, saving the remaining environment, if any,
and restoring its natural beauty is an issue that BES is seeking. BES feels this
question is complex and requires the solidarity of collective actors with
different perspectives and opinions on dealing with the environmental issue in
Somalia in general, particularly the operational areas.
