Nature and Environmental Security in Contemporary Nigerian Poetry

At the core of this book lie the twin concerns of nature and environmental security. Two collections of children's poetry are used to explore the centrality of the natural environment to humanity. The book asserts that childhood is the ideal period to cultivate awareness and appreciation of nature and its peculiarities. In a world overshadowed by complex forms of environmental degradation, literature emerges as a powerful tool - raising much-needed awareness about the importance of safeguarding the environment for the sake of humanity.
