Background of the Study
Youth-led environmental movements have gained significant traction in recent years as young people become more aware of the urgent need to address environmental issues such as climate change, deforestation, and waste management. In Bauchi Local Government Area (LGA), youth organizations have been actively engaged in promoting environmental conservation through advocacy, tree planting, waste management campaigns, and climate change awareness programs. These movements have become influential in mobilizing communities and raising awareness about environmental protection. This study seeks to investigate the role of youth-led environmental movements in Bauchi, focusing on their contributions to local environmental policies, community engagement, and sustainable practices (Bello & Saidu, 2025).
