FADE Africa partners with Operation OASIS
On Wednesday 25th May 2011 at the invitation of "Desert Warrior" Dr Newton Jibunoh, members of the Operation OASIS met with members of Fight Against Desert Encroachment (FADE) Africa in Chelsea Crescent, London.
In attendance were Dr Newton Jibunoh, Ladan Duale, Akin Olukiran & Olumide Adisa -- FADE, Africa, Andrew K Fletcher -- Originator of Operation OASIS, Greg Peachey BSc -- Chair of The FREdome Visionary Trust and Craig Embleton BSc -- Founder of The Green Frontier.
Fight against Desert Encroachment (FADE Africa), accredited to the United Nations World Summit on Sustainable Development, is an international non-governmental environmental organisation founded by Dr Newton C. Jibunoh, a world-renowned environmentalist popularly known for driving across the Sahara Desert in 3 expeditions to raise awareness of the dire consequences of water, soil and land mismanagement. He is a soil engineer with great passion and commitment for finding viable solutions for every nation that is affected by deserts and desertification. He has witnessed over his lifetime the Sahara desert's insatiable advance that constantly devours farms and villages, forcing people to abandon their homelands and migrate to already overpopulated cities.
His words are poignant when echoed around all Earth Summits where he is invited to take the stand on Climate Change and his message to all concerned is clear: "Desertification is the primary cause of Climate Change!" .
