UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador

In my country of my birth — Tunisia — it gives me great pleasure to be have the opportunity to address such a priority issue as the future of drylands. The beauty of our deserts is threatened and the future of its populations uncertain. We need an ecological revolution, which should be increasingly felt and occupy our conscience.

Many countries have already begun to construct a more sustainable future. Alarm bells have started to ring at the doors of other states and multinational companies. Scientists have opened the path and continue to show the way. The media grant increasing coverage of environmental themes, and thanks to those areas of culture, education and art that follow and support this issue, we can establish a ‘natural’ and healthy relationship with nature.
