You don’t need a big garden or fancy equipment to bring about positive changes – all you need is the spirit of an eco explorer: curiosity, respect for nature and a desire to do good.
Beloved children’s presenter Yussef Rafik has made it his mission to share his knowledge about the natural world and the things we can do to help it. How to Be an Eco Explorer introduces you to 10 key ecosystems, from gardens to the coast, and from arid lands to the city. For each one, you will discover:
Ecosystem facts:learn about how the ecosystem works, including the challenges it faces
Small solutions: discover little things we can do to help solve these challenges, as individuals or as a society
Habitat heroes: meet under-appreciated animal heroes that are crucial to making the ecosystem work, such as pond snails, cellar spiders and dung beetles
Practical activities: enjoy two step-by-step activities that you can try at home. For example, learn how to make your own rainwater harvester or bathyscope for spying critters underwater!
This is the perfect book for young people feeling anxious about the environment, but also for parents looking for inspiring ways to get their children outside, having fun and learning.
