Background of the Study
Local radio stations play an essential role in raising awareness about environmental issues and fostering community involvement in environmental conservation. In Zaria Local Government Area (LGA) of Kaduna State, local radio stations have become a significant tool for disseminating information on environmental challenges such as deforestation, pollution, and climate change. These platforms can reach wide audiences, including rural populations, and can play a key role in promoting sustainable environmental practices. This study aims to explore the role of local radio stations in promoting environmental awareness in Zaria, examining how radio broadcasts influence public perceptions of environmental issues and encourage participation in conservation efforts (Bala & Idris, 2023).
1.2 Statement of the Problem

In Zaria LGA, the role of local radio stations in promoting environmental sustainability has not been adequately studied. The effectiveness of radio broadcasts in influencing behavior change and community participation in environmental conservation remains uncertain. This study seeks to fill this gap by evaluating how local radio stations in Zaria contribute to environmental education and advocacy.
