Simple English meaning

My name is Judy. I work with an environmental program. My job is to observe how people interact with nature. I tell people and tourists visiting the park not to throw rubbish anywhere and to protect the environment from pollution.

I also encourage people not to cut down trees and to protect the forest. I try to find other ways for them to cook without consuming too much firewood. I also organize projects with associations in the field of environmental protection and development in general.
