Vasco Lino, Mozambique, Positive Tracks Next Gen | Undergraduate student majoring in Biological Sciences at Universidade Lúrio, Pemba. The environmental conservation in Mozambique needs us to keep working. [I think this] because we have many places with a beautiful landscape and [not everyone will go to] see what is happening there and what kind of the species are there if it is under threat. This resources will end and we will suffer from climate change and lot of diseases. We need serious professionals in environmental conservation who will bring convincing arguments for our identity to governors and leaders of this country.
When I read about this symposium and the experience which it gives I was very thrilled and [wanted with my] heart to be part in the 2015 Lost Mountain Symposium. I like to climb mountains, I need to contribute to my country with this skills, so I would like to learn a lot [and] put my country on top.
What’s a Positive Tracks Next Gen? These are our Next Gen’s who are 23 and younger and are
therefor qualified to have their fundraising dollars matched by Positive Tracks— a national, youth-centric nonprofit that helps young people get active and give back using the power of sport and adventure. In 2015 Positive Tracks, together with our outdoor industry partners, will double every dollar Next Gen Symposium participants fundraise until we have $90,000 for innovative integrated conservation.
