Binde: A small clay stove-type structure introduced to villages for efficient and sustainable cooking practices. Public support and awareness: The involvement and knowledge of the general public in advocating for and protecting environmental causes. Poaching concerns: Worries about illegal hunting or capturing of wildlife, including the Cotton-top Tamarin. Water health and pollution: The quality of water in terms of its safety for consumption and use, as well as the presence of harmful substances or pollutants.
