“I once listened to the late former Prime Minister Cabdirisaaq Xaaji Xuseen, who was born in Nugaal. He said: ‘When I was born, I used to see elephants here. That tells us what kind of ecosystem this land once supported.’” Mr. Cabdiqani Xayir
“Pollinators like bees, butterflies, and locusts play a key role in pollination — contributing to about 30% of our crop yield, especially fruits.”-Nasteexo Muuse, Director of Biodiversity Department, Ministry of Environment, Climate Change & Rangelands, Puntland.
Biikón Environment and Climate Change was represented at #PCOF2025 by Isxaaq Cabdullahi & Faatimo Cabdirisaaq. The forum, held in Garowe, focused on climate risks & drought preparedness in Puntland.
