Q: What inspired you to pursue environmental geography? A: Growing up in a remote Cameroonian village, I witnessed firsthand how communities depend on their environment. When drought affected our crops one year, I became curious about climate patterns and their impact on livelihoods. This curiosity evolved into a passion for finding sustainable solutions that benefit both people and ecosystems.
