participate a conservation youth conference scheduled in Africa’s famous

Princess Haifa has been impressed by wildlife miracles and secrets of
nature in Serengeti National Park during her field visit to the park
late last year.The forthcoming Youth Forum will bring to Tanzania, a section of youths engaged in nature conservation leadership initiatives, focusing on Biodiversity Conservation.
The Saudi Princess then preferred Serengeti National Park to be a
host for the youth forum, basing on the park’s abundance of wildlife
resources, officials from Tanzania National Parks said.
“It is unbelievable, I used to read about Serengeti through various
literatures but today I am overwhelmed from what I can see here. It is
my first time in Africa and particularly in Serengeti and I don’t regret
at all in coming here” Princess Haifa was quoted saying.
She said that though the Youth Forum that was organized jointly by
Tanzania National Parks and the Saudi Arabian Government will be held in
Tanzania’s northern tourist city of Arusha, the youths attending the
forum will have to visit Serengeti National Park for three days and have
a field experience by visiting various conservation projects in the
Serengeti such as the Rhino Management Program; Wild dogs Re
introduction Project as well as Lion and Hyena Research Projects.
The Youth Forum on Biodiversity Conservation will be held from 17 to
28 this month and will be attended by youths from both Tanzania and
Saudi Arabia.
While in Tanzania, the youth delegates will have an opportunity to
visit some of the wildlife institutions in this country including the
College of African Wildlife Management Mweka on the foothills of Mount
Kilimanjaro; Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute in Arusha city;
Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Mount Kilimanjaro National Park.
The Princess who is the coordinator of the forum, said this forum is
taking place for the first time in Africa and Tanzania was chosen to
host the forum due to its historical background and commitment in
protecting wildlife natural resources supported by the peace and
security prevailing in the country.
The main theme of the Forum is “Construction and Implementation of
the Regulatory Framework for Biodiversity Conservation” and will involve
about 50 youths from both Tanzania and Saudi Arabia who will have an
opportunity to interact and discuss on the future of biodiversity
conservation in the two countries.
The youth forum is an initiative by Saudi Arabia King Abdullah Bin
Abdul Aziz for dialogue among the forums worldwide under the program
Saudi International Youth Dialogue Forums.
These forums provide the platform for Saudi youth to interact with
their peers from different countries, while adopting their creative
initiatives and solutions under various themes.
