Explore the amazing world of tropical forests with our environmental education resources for kids and teens. Help us inspire the next generation to create a sustainable future for people and nature.
We believe that educating kids about nature—and inspiring them to act on its behalf—is more urgent now than ever before. Michael Gibbons, our director of creative and communications, shares why the Rainforest Alliance has created a free environmental curriculum to help teachers inspire and equip the next generation to protect our planet.
The stories we consume lay the foundation of who we are: Stories about the power, diversity, and wonder of nature are a sure-fire way to inspire the next generation to treasure and nurture the world around them. Here our some of our favorite children's books about nature.
