Call for Help to Protect and Promote Nigeria's Sacred Trees, Sacred Groves and Sacred Forests

Oluwatoyin Vincent Adepoju 

I want to initiate a movement to protect and promote Nigeria's sacred trees, sacred groves and sacred forests for their aesthetic, cultural, recreational, spiritual and biological significance.

I would appreciate any help with this task.

These sacred trees, groves and forests dramatize an understanding of the universe as shaped by a creator, demonstrate the beauty of nature, are inspiring to admire and house various species of wildlife.

These glorious places are in danger of extinction as land demand rises.

What can be done to protect them as a priceless legacy of how Nigerians ancestrally related with nature as fundamental to human existence?

I shall be sharing my explorations of these spaces and contributions to their protection and promotion through images, text and video, on various social media platforms

Great thanks
