Sameer Shaik – UAE Ambassador for Nature
It is with tremendous pride and privilege that I tell you that Sameer Shaik, who is finishing his Year 13 studies here at AAESS, has been chosen to be a UAE Ambassador for Nature.
The 20 ambassadors were selected out of hundreds of UAE youth, all of whom have been active participants in the Connect with Nature movement, by a prestigious selection committee comprised of top sustainability leaders and youth representatives from across Emirates Nature-WWF, Environment Agency-Abu Dhabi, Ministry of Climate Change and Environment and Majid Al Futtaim Group.
These young changemakers have shown eagerness to unleash their curiosity, explore their passion, and unlock the opportunity to develop new skills to drive positive change in the UAE.
The Ambassador Programme is set to continue for a period of 10 months. Kicking off on June 7, the change makers will take part in workshops, volunteering opportunities, and mentorship sessions with key decision makers and sustainability leaders in the UAE.
Principal, Andrew Thomas said, “I’m not surprised to learn this about Sameer, He is a keen birdwatcher and a highly intelligent young man. This is such great and welcomed news in such times. Our congratulations to Sameer, and I look forward to reading more about the progress he makes with this project.”
