New balance for life below water
Oceans cover more than 70 per cent of earth's surface. They help regulate the planet's climate and supply much of its oxygen. Alarming damage to life below water – estimated at more than 50 per cent decline in marine populations – puts climate, food security and employment at risk. And this is exactly the area where David Ouma, national UN Volunteer from Kenya makes his contribution.
My name is David Ouma and I am a national UN Volunteer Specialist. I serve as Project Management Assistant at United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in Nairobi.
My academic background in Biology and my six-month internship in marine conservation at the Kenyan coast led to this UN Volunteer assignment.
