Young EcoLeaders of the Brazilian Rainforest
Organization information
Iracambi
Location: Rosario da Limeira, Brazil
Summary
Children in our remote rural area live in one of the world's top biodiversity hotspots, yet their level of understanding and appreciation for the forests is very low. Traditionally, forests are considered barriers to progress, trees are cut and animals eaten or simply killed because they are "dangerous." If we are to save the last great forests, we must focus on the younger generation, helping them to understand their place in the web of life and learn to love and value the forest ecosystem.
