MEET ANOTHER YOUTH LEADER!


Christina Vietinghoff is from Fredericton, New Brunswick (Canada). For many years, Christina has been an active member of the CISV Eco-group in Fredericton working to restore indigenous trees along the St. John Valley. After attending the Second International Youth Symposium on Biodiversity, Christina volunteered as a co-chair of the Youth Accord Steering Committee and helped coordinate and write the International Youth Accord on Biodiversity. Last year she created the Fredericton High School 2010 Environmental Club which successfully implemented various projects and also engaged many students in environmental activism. Through her work as a representative on the NB Youth Environmental Action Network, Christina has helped organize youth environmental conferences and helped write the New Brunswick Youth Accord on Biodiversity. Christina is passionate about engaging youth in environmental projects and hopes to continue doing so as she completes her final year of high school!  She will be attending COP 10 next month.
