DJIBOUTI CITY, March 9 (Xinhua) Tucked away in the Horn of Africa, the tiny country of Djibouti is home to moon-like and volcanic landscapes, the most saline body of water on Earth, and a pristine wildlife waiting for adventurers to explore.
Yet the beauty is facing the threats of climate change and environmental damage brought by human activities. Education on environmental protection and the raise of awareness are urgently needed to protect this jewel of biodiversity and unlock its full potential for generations to come.
