Welcome, Young Rainforest Protectors!
Caring for nature doesn’t have to be hard. Kids everywhere can help protect forests, animals, rivers, and even the Amazon rainforest by making small choices every day. Here are easy, fun conservation tips that show how young protectors can make a big difference.
Protect Nature Every Day
Nature gives us clean air, water, and places to explore. Here’s how kids can help keep it healthy:
- Pick up trash when you see it (with an adult’s help).
- Stay on paths and trails so plants can keep growing.
- Leave flowers, rocks, and animals where they belong.
Why it matters: When we respect nature, forests and animals stay safe and strong.
Be a Wildlife Friend
Animals need space to live and grow.
- Watch animals from far away.
- Use binoculars or a camera instead of getting close.
- Learn the names of birds, insects, and plants near you.
Fun idea: Start a nature notebook and draw or write about the animals you see. Get inspired by the young kids who are exploring their territory through birds.
Help Bees and Pollinators
Bees, butterflies, and birds help plants grow.
- Plant flowers that bees love.
- Learn about stingless bees and how they help forests.
- Never touch insects unless a grown-up says it’s safe.
Did you know? Stingless bees are important pollinators in the Amazon rainforest. Learn more about the Amazonian Honey.
Save Water
Fresh water is precious.
- Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth.
- Take shorter showers.
- Help water plants carefully so no water is wasted.
Why it matters: Saving water helps rivers, animals, and people. Understand more about marine conservation with Ancestral Tides.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Using less helps the Earth.
- Reuse boxes, paper, and jars for art and games.
- Bring a reusable water bottle or lunch container.
- Help recycle at home or school.
Try this: Make a toy or art project using recycled materials.
Learn and Share
Learning is a powerful way to protect nature.
- Read about the Amazon rainforest and Indigenous peoples.
- Watch ACT videos and stories.
- Share what you learn with friends and family.
Tip: Teaching others helps protect nature even more.
Be a Nature Protector at Home
You don’t have to live in the rainforest to help it.
- Turn off lights when you leave a room.
- Walk or bike when you can.
- Take care of plants near your home or school.
Every action counts!
How Kids Can Help Protect the Amazon
The Amazon rainforest is home to many plants, animals, and Indigenous communities.
- Create art or stories about rainforest animals.
- Learn how Indigenous peoples protect forests.
- Ask your family how they can support conservation projects.
