Whether you live in the countryside or in a city, near a woodland or in a village, there are lots of things you can do to help your local ecosystem, and this bright, attractive book lays out lots of ways to make a difference.
In chapters dedicated to different environments, from gardens to grasslands and even in your house, it lists the wildlife to look out for, describes the impact of human activity and lists simple actions we can all take to lessen that.
There are suggestions of activities too that will reveal more about the local ecosystem or boost it. Going pond dipping, building a bug hotel or growing a herb garden all seem fun, and attainable things to do. Written by the presenter of BBC Earth Kids, this is informative and engaging and likely to inspire junior eco explorers everywhere.
You don't need a big garden of 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. We know that the environment needs our help, but can we really make a difference? 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.
