Children Learning about Ecology and the Environment

Chris Pittam, 4th Nov 2013

Teaching young children about ecology and the environment will teach them lessons they will take through the rest of their life. If children learn to respect and care for the world they live in from a young age they will help to preserve it for the next generation. They will become advocates for protecting nature.

The earth’s natural assets are made up of plants, animals, land, water, the atmosphere AND humans! TOGETHER we all form part of the planet’s ecosystems – together is perhaps the most important word here. Everything we do as humans affects the world we live in – we do not have limitless resources – we have the power to destroy or create – we need to teach children to create, care for and respect our world.

For children to grow up and become caring members of society they need to explore the world of nature around them, so they form emotional attachments. They will learn by example, so your care for the environment, your attitudes and behaviour will help to shape how they react.

It would be easy to start by looking at how many creatures are disappearing from our planet – the Madagascan Lemur, for example, is one of the most cuddly, cute, furry, big-eyed creatures in the world may disappear in 20 years.

I think it is better to start from a conservation viewpoint: you should look at the positive things that can be achieved, rather than the negative ones. It will teach your child about positive actions and how what they do affects the world they live in, not just themselves – because we are all connected.

The Amazon rainforest is burning at a scary rate. French President Emmanuel Macron said the record number of fires is an "international crisis". There has been an 85 per cent increase in fires this year. Mr Macron said urgent action is needed. He said the fires should be top ofthe agenda atthe G7 summit of world leaders. He tweeted about how serious the fires are. He wrote: "Our house is burning. Literally. The Amazon rain
forest - the lungs which produce 20% of our planet's oxygen - is on fire. It is an international crisis.”

German Chancellor Angela Merkel called the fires an “acute emergency”. She said they were "shocking". She added that the fires threatened Brazil, its neighbors, and the whole world. The UK leader Boris Johnson called the fires "hearibreaking". He said: We stand ready to provide whatever help we can to bring them under control and help protect one of Earth's greatest wonders." UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said: "In the midst of the global climate crisis, we cannot afford more damage to a major source of oxygen and biodiversity. The Amazon must be protected.”
