Nondumiso Myataza

Nondumiso Myataza is passionate about people and the environment in which they live. She has completed her studies in Nature Conservation at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University. To expand her knowledge of science and ecology, she was involved in various research projects in the Kruger National Park. Her passion, however, lies in Environmental Education where she is currently serving. Nondumiso believes that Environmental Education is an essential part of the sustainable use and conservation of the planet. She believes that people should be given opportunities of forming a personal relationship with nature as she believes that through those experiences, loving and protecting the environment will come easily. When she is not outdoors or interacting with the youth, Nondumiso enjoys writing and draws her inspiration from the lessons found in nature and her own life experiences.
