This week we are looking at Environmental Protection with one of our current student in MSc Global Environment and Sustainability, Ranita Koroma. Ranita is a Sierra Leonean Consultant and researcher in a variety of Environmental subjects such as Blue Economy, Sustainable Development; Marine Governance and Conservation; Climate Change and Biodiversity, Waste Management and Flooding.
