NWU gaan groen
Die omgewing sluit alle lewende en nielewende dinge in, en ons kan sien hoe negatiewe impakte die omgewing benadeel. Mense moet die omgewing verstaan, en ook die impak van mense se gedrag wat klimaatsverandering veroorsaak en tot gronderosie, swak luggehalte en ondrinkbare water lei. Ten einde groter bewustheid oor die omgewing te skep, het die…https://news.nwu.ac.za/nwu-goes-green

Snakes…https://news.nwu.ac.za/af/nwu-help-met-bewusmaking-oor-die-belangrikheid-van-slange

Ons as mense word geleer dat ons alle lewende dinge moet respekteer, maar dit kan ’n sensitiewe saak wees as dit by slange kom. Hierdie reptiele word dikwels as gevaarlike en bose wesens uitgebeeld en dit beïnvloed mense se houding teenoor hulle, wat veroorsaak dat mense nog banger vir hulle is omdat hulle nie baie kennis oor slange het nie.…https://news.nwu.ac.za/af/gemeenskappe-baat-die-nwu-se-ontwikkelingsprojekte
