The work of legendary ethnobiologist, conservationist and activist Jane Goodall has already inspired people to care for endangered species and the environment for decades — but the doctor’s latest endeavor continues her work in motivating the next generation.

Apple TV+’s mission-driven children’s series “Jane” harnesses the power of TV, with Emmy-winning creator J.J. Johnson (“Endlings,” “Ghostwriter”) using Goodall’s teachings to motivate kids to take a stand for endangered species and care for the environment. “Jane,” from the Jane Goodall Institute and Johnson’s company Sinking Ship Entertainment, premiered on April 14, with 10 episodes now available on Apple TV+.

“Jane” features eager 9-year-old environmentalist Jane Garcia (Ava Louise Murchison) — who is inspired to help save the planet, following in the footsteps of her role model, Goodall — along with her friends David (Mason Blomberg) and a chimpanzee named Greybeard. Each episode focuses on a different endangered species, such as Apis mellifera (Western honey bee) and Panthera tigris (tiger). Blending live action and CGI — and featuring an epic theme song “One Step Closer” written by Diane Warren, and sung by Leona Lewis — the show depicts the friends taking a stand for the species and the environment, and getting into occasional trouble along the way. The episodes all end with the friends video-chatting with real-life animal experts, particularly highlighting women and people of color.

While Goodall’s years of dedication to great apes research and advocacy have made her a household name in the 21st century, she began her work at age 26 in 1960 studying chimpanzees. She founded the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977, which fosters research, advocacy as well as community-led conservation, and it empowers children — particularly through its youth program Roots and Shoots, which was founded in 1991.

A United Nations Messenger of Peace and a Dame Commander of the British Empire (DBE), Goodall’s research on chimpanzees in Gombe, Tanzania helped change scientists’ understanding of humans’ relationship to animals. The research continues in Tanzania through the Jane Goodall Institute Gombe Stream Research Center, and it is the world’s longest-running chimpanzee study.

Also a prolific author, Goodall has adult and children’s literary works such as “The Book of Hope,” “In the Shadow of Man” and “Rickie and Henri: A True Story.”

Goodall is no stranger to the screen, however, as the subject of dozens of films including “Chimps, So Like Us,” “Miss Goodall and the Wild Chimpanzees” and “Jane Goodall: The Hope” — as well as Brett Morgen’s 2017 Emmy-nominated documentary, also called “Jane.” While Goodall did not create this “Jane” for Apple TV+, her life’s work and teachings inspire the show’s protagonist who idolizes her, and if Goodall had not approved the show’s concept when it was in development, it would not have moved forward.

Goodall, who turned 89 earlier this month, spoke with Variety over Zoom about how she hopes “Jane” inspires the youngest generation, and what she hopes to accomplish next in her career.

How do you hope viewers, especially children, react when they see “Jane”?

I hope that it will encourage them to actually think more about endangered species — to think about the fact that if we’re not careful, many of these species will disappear. I hope it also will encourage young people to join our Roots and Shoots program, which is in 68 countries. It’s about young people choosing projects to help — animals, people and the environment — deciding what they want to do, working out what they can do, rolling up their sleeves and taking action.

So if this Jane Garcia encourages real-life activities, it’ll be great. I hope it will encourage young people to join in the effort to make this a better world, to choose projects that will help to save the environment before it’s too late.

Talk about environmental issues often creates anxiety in children and young adults, but it is still obviously important to learn about — how do you, through this show or beyond, hope to inspire the next generation without causing anxiety?

That’s my entire program Roots and Shoots, it’s all about taking action. If young people get together and work on projects, which is the same sort of thing with Sinking Ship Entertainment, then it’s all about positive change. We need to know that many species are close to extinction, but that we have to stop that from happening. And therefore we have to work together to find out ways of saving the animals that are moving toward extinction. We need to know about the doom and gloom — I talk about it all the time. But at the same time, it’s desperately important to give people hope, especially young people, because, yes, we can make a difference.

So “Jane” shows young people how they can get together and solve the “doom and gloom” effectively?

Yeah, hopefully. The goal is to try and get young people involved and taking action, and stepping on beyond that to do more. It’s young people getting really worried, but then working together with older people who are also wanting to try to save the species. So it’s a complete mixture.

How do we inspire the next generation to create change, without placing blame on children for a situation they didn’t create?

There are major problems and, yes, all sorts of things have led to unfortunate decreases in numbers of endangered species. But the whole emphasis is on working together to create change. Let’s get young people involved, talk about what can be done to make a difference and then, as I say, roll up their sleeves and work out what they can do. And taking action is going to be different with different species. And, basically, I hope that this program will have enough fun in it, as well as understanding the problem, that young people will be pushing toward saving a lot of these animals. Many animals on the very brink of extinction have been given another chance.

What’s an example of a species that was pushed toward extinction, but human intervention reversed the course?

My favorite one is that little black robin that was reduced to just two individuals, one male and one female. That was it. And through some very clever work, there are now about 500 of them. They’re all genetically identical, of course, but they’re being spread into four different islands. So, hopefully, there will be some genetic change so they’re not all identical, since that’s not very healthy. There are many, many stories like that.

What message do you have for people who feel hopeless, or that they alone cannot make a difference?

People have to realize that every single one of us can make a difference. We could just say, “Oh well, I know that animals are becoming extinct. There’s nothing I can do about it.” That’s really going to be the end of us. But if you decide, “I will try and make a difference, I will do something every single day,” then we can make a difference. We can choose what we can do: Some of us can help animals, some of us can help planting trees, some of us can help whatever it is that we care about. And if we all choose projects to make the world better, then it’s going to make a major difference. We don’t all give up and say, “Well, it’s just me, there’s nothing I can do.” If we give up, then the future is not very good, is it? We all have to do our bit to try and persuade other people. We’re in the middle of a pretty bad, dark space. So for young people to join in and feel, “Gosh, if I do this, I will be making the world a better place,” that’s really important.

You’ve done so much in your life and in your career — what else do you look forward to accomplishing?

I want our Roots and Shoots program to be in every school in every country. But I always say, “If you try and aim for the stars, you might reach the moon. If you aim for the moon, you might reach the head of Mount Everest,” for example. So that’s the same for the stars — and at least we can reach the moon and help to protect the various animals and plants that are facing tremendous danger. The young and old alike in different countries need to really, really work hard to save these creatures. We’ve got to do it now.

Content: World-famous for her research with chimpanzees, Jane Goodall now focuses on the human condition

Apr 21, 2024 | 0 comments

By Michelle Cohan

In 1960, on the banks of Lake Tanganyika, Tanzania, one young British woman would set out to change what we know about primates forever.

Jane Goodall, in 1960, searching an African forest for chimpanzees.

Jane Goodall defied conventional scientific methods by immersing herself in the jungle, which led to groundbreaking discoveries about chimpanzees; most notably that they use tools, are omnivores and that they are socially complex beings.

More than six decades later, her unorthodox field work – and her conservation efforts – are still celebrated around the world.

Today, the recently-turned 90-year-old’s work looks a little different – taking place mostly indoors, and with a different crowd. Through her program called “Roots & Shoots,” Goodall empowers young people to create change within their communities. And for her, this work is just as significant.

CNN spoke with Goodall recently during a trip to South Africa, where she observed some of the projects local Johannesburg students are heading up as part of Roots & Shoots.

The interview has been edited for length and clarity.

CNN: The younger generation has so much they can learn from elders. Who made an impact on your life?

Goodall: I think it’s really important, this exchange of information from the elders to the youngers. I was really lucky; I had an amazing mother. I was born loving animals, and she supported that love of animals. I was one-and-a-half years old, and she came into my room and she found I’d taken a whole handful of wriggling earthworms into my bed. Most mothers would’ve [said], ‘Oh, throw these dirty things [away].’ She just said, ‘Jane, I think they might die without the Earth, you better take them into the garden.’ And so she nurtured this inherent love I had … in all the insects, the birds, the animals, everybody around me.

Jane Goodall

CNN: Roots & Shoots is active in 70 countries, where hundreds of thousands of young people are making an impact within their communities. How did the program come about?

Goodall: When I began Roots & Shoots in Tanzania in 1991, it was because I was meeting young people then who had lost hope. Young people who felt we’d compromised their future. And the reason they’re losing hope, it’s obvious: climate change, loss of biodiversity. I could go on listing, listing, listing … but when they said there was nothing they could do about it, then I thought, ‘No, that’s not true.’

We worked out that Roots & Shoots’ main message [would be that] every individual has a role to play. And that we needed to think holistically in terms of helping the environment, people and animals, because we are all interrelated. That’s where it began.

CNN: What is the most important message to convey to the younger generation?

Goodall: The goal that I have is helping young people understand that there is a window of time [to save the planet]. Unfortunately, today I [still] meet more and more people who are losing hope. So many people feel helpless and hopeless because [they question] what can they can do as an individual.

But what people have to understand is when it’s 2 million, 1 billion, 2 billion, 3 billion, all taking small actions to make the world a better place, that is changing the world. What matters is people understanding that as an individual, what they do makes a difference. Not because it’s just them, but because they are not alone.

CNN: Does climate innovation and technology give you hope?

Goodall: Yeah, I think that if we look around at what’s happening to the planet, we need to grab onto every single thing we can that will help us to move forward out of the disaster that we have created. And if we look at solar energy, if we look at wind energy and the power of tide energy, then these things are good.

The problem has been to get government support. So governments tend to put money into the fossil fuel industry, rather than to support the new emerging technologies that will enable us to live in a more harmonious way with the natural world. If we don’t do that, our future is doomed. And unfortunately, it’s not only our future, but so many of the other animals that so many of us love. We have to take action now.

CNN: What message do you have for the world?

Goodall: A message to the world would be, don’t forget that you as an individual make an impact on the environment every single day. And it’s up to you to choose what sort of impact you make. I think once everybody understands the role that they play, whoever they are, is so desperately important, then we move towards a better world.

Editor’s note: At one of Goodall’s recent presentations in California, 93-year-old movie actor and director Clint Eastwood was in the audience. Asked why he was there, Eastwood said he supported Goodall’s work and added that he was a big fan of 90-year-olds.

The competition was broken down into two sections Junior P6 & P7 and Senior Y8, Y9 and Y10.

Councillor Caleb McCready, Chair of the Council’s Environment and Sustainability Committee said: “Combating climate change and preserving our environment, oceans and biodiversity is a global priority. We need everyone to play their part in increasing recycling and choosing sustainable options such as reuse in order to move to a Circular Economy and help protect our natural resources.

"I’d like to thank schools and students for their contributions to the council’s Environmental Youth Speak competition this year. Empowering the next generation to speak out is a hugely important part of effective climate action globally, and it will only have a positive effect on our Council too.

"Protecting the environment is an important role for everyone and it is encouraging to hear pupils talk so passionately about waste reduction and recycling. I hope their speeches influence fellow classmates, friends and family to reduce, reuse and recycle in the years ahead.”

‘Back to the future’ was the theme for the Junior section and pupils were required to research how and why waste has increased dramatically over the past 50 years and highlight lessons that can be learned from the past to reduce waste in the future.

The senior section had a theme of ‘How can we put the brakes on fast fashion’ asking them to discuss the impact of fast fashion globally.

The aim of the competition was to encourage environmental awareness among young people by providing them with an opportunity to research environmental issues.

Taking the Junior section Winners’ Cups back to their school was Abbey McBride & Grace Wilkinson of Dundonald P.S., with Kirsten Harvey of Riverdale P.S. in second place and Holly Mullen & Rayne Lundy of Annahilt P.S in 3rd place.

The Senior Section winners trophy went to Molly McWilliams of Laurelhill Community College, with James Muldoon of Lagan College in second place and Eve Courtney & Zola Carnew of Wallace High School in 3rd place.

All participants received a certificate and a reusable shopping bag made from recycled material and an Insulated Stainless Steel drink bottle.

Content: (COLORADO SPRINGS) — Aryan Tuteja is heading into his sophomore year at Discovery Canyon Campus in Colorado Springs. He is a determined 15-year-old who is hoping to inspire those of all ages to keep Southern Colorado clean.

“I was already interested in helping the environment and with climate change,” Tuteja said. “And when I noticed huge waste dumps outside in Colorado Springs, I was really shocked to see how little people care about waste management and how huge it’s affecting climate change overall. So, I thought I should do something to help this and that’s why I created my project to create awareness… more about recycling, composting and incineration.”

Tuteja worked with the non-profit organization Rustic Pathways through their Climate Leaders Fellowship program to bring his idea to life.

“I always wanted to make this change, but I wasn’t really sure how until I came [across] Rustic Pathways, who actually led the way and taught me how I can do this,” Tuteja said. “They really helped me understand what’s around me.”

Tuteja is one of 190 students from across the world who participated in the fellowship program.

“This is a total extracurricular activity that these very busy high school students are signing up for on top of their academic and other schoolwork,” said Rustic Pathways Climate Leaders Fellowship Program Director, John Shu. “I think they just get really excited about meeting other likeminded, impact-oriented teenagers like them from across the world and they kind of motivate each other.”

Students are able to pursue their passions in leaving a positive impact on their local community to help reduce climate change.

“It’s been really cool just seeing the types of ideas that these students come up with,” Shu said. “We don’t really tell them what to do. We just kind of plant some seeds and they go off, talk to people, their neighbors, their friends, family and local businesses to see what types of opportunities for impact there are.”

Tuteja turned to the internet to advocate for waste management reduction in Southern Colorado.

“My first key detail is to raise awareness and promote incineration, composting and recycling and to really widespread the word so that everyone would know how to do it and where to do it,” Tuteja said. “My second key detail of my project is the fundraising. I’m currently fundraising for a Global Fund recycling drive, and I believe that is a really good cause and would help the environment overall.”

To help bring this awareness to those his age, Tuteja was able to share his work through a QR code in his high school.

“Our QR code was actually really helpful because it let students connect to our project more openly and freely,” Tuteja said. “It also gave them very easy access for us.”

At the end of the day, Tuteja is hoping to spread the word of reducing waste in Colorado Springs.

“I believe if we can make it more like, open, accessible, people will be able to recycle more and help the environment overall,” said Tuteja.

Content: BELOIT—A group of students from Beloit Memorial High School helped clean up Big Hill Park on Wednesday.

Raven Regenold and Anna Olson coordinated the litter pickup event with students from the BMHS National Honor Society. Regenold took the initiative and came up with the idea for the event. Regenold contacted Brenda Plakans, Executive Director of Welty Environmental Center, to get permission to use the space and come up with the plan.

Olson helped coordinate dates and times for the students to all be able to attend the event. There were five total students including Regenold and Olson in attendance. Kayle Olson, Tessa Dungen, and Naoki Nikora also participated in the event. Tessa Dungen wasn’t part of NHS, but wanted to help out with the project.

“We were able to fill a garbage bag full of litter around the Park,” Regenold explained.

They found biodegradable trash around the park. The group considered the day a success and were happy to see the park cleaner, noting how important the park is to the community and people living in the area.

“Big Hill Park is a place for people to get together, go on hikes with their spices, or walk their dogs,” Kayla Olson said.

The students thought it was important to preserve this community space for all to use.

The group of students are planning more community outreach events such as a blood drive and working with hospice patients.

Trading homework for hip waders: Regina students become stewards of conservation park

Students from a Regina high school will get to take class outside, while helping the environment.

High school students partner with Ducks Unlimited to create wetland centre of excellence

Science has always been a big part of Mireya Zigler's life.

Zigler's dad was an environmental science teacher at Martin Collegiate in Regina, and she admits to having a bit of a dinosaur obsession as a kid.

Now, Zigler and her Grade 10 classmates at Dr. Martin LeBoldus High School will get to explore their passion for science further, as they become environmental stewards at McKell Wascana Conservation Park.

The project is a partnership between the school and Ducks Unlimited to make the roughly 70-hectare (171-acre) park in east Regina a wetland centre of excellence — part of a national network of schools and community partners for the conservation organization.

The centres give students an opportunity to lead conservation projects and community outreach at their local wetland through the school year, while learning about its importance to the environment.

McKell Wascana is the third such centre in Saskatchewan, and the 27th in Canada.

"As a student, I've just found that everybody's kind of a kinesthetic learner," said Zigler.

"If you're actually going to go out and experience what you're doing, everybody is going to be able to absorb that information ... significantly more than just memorizing text in a classroom."

How these high school students are becoming advocates for the environment

18 hours ago
Duration 2:01
Grade 10 science students from Dr. Martin LeBoldus High School in Regina are taking the classroom outside. They've partnered with Ducks Unlimited to be stewards of the McKell Wascana Conservation Park, which was recently named a Wetland Centre of Excellence.

Her classmate Kaylee Lawrence agrees. It's a great way to get out of the school to learn, says Lawrence.

"We spend a lot of time in there and it can get really boring at times," she said. "This is a great new experience and a way to get us into nature."

Student-directed activities

The 47 students involved in the project will get to choose which conservation activities they want to do.

Those include building nesting boxes for birds, and even getting waist-deep in Wascana Creek to filter the water and improve its quality downstream.

Mariane Bolla, head of national education with Ducks Unlimited, said the McKell Wascana site was chosen for the project because Ducks Unlimited helped establish the park.

Wetlands like McKell Wascana are well known for their environmental benefits — serving as natural water filters and a home for numerous species of animals. They can also store carbon, instead of releasing it into the atmosphere.

Bolla said this particular project requires teachers who show leadership and are willing to put a bit more effort into their lessons.

LeBoldus science teacher Desmond Hartney was already doing some outdoor education, so the Ducks Unlimited project was a good match.

Hartney said his students are eager to start working at the site.

"They kind of feel a responsibility for maintaining it," he said. "They become advocates for the environment — not just necessarily this wetland but also other areas around the city and the province."

Hartney hopes to implement the project into other classes at LeBoldus in the future.

Zigler is hopeful her classmates will become better citizens after the year-long partnership.

"I just hope that people are going to learn to actually care about the environment," she said. "I really hope that this is going to impact them."

Green Education Initiative (EEI) Pilot School for Primary and Secondary Schools in China
"Our group believes that compared to the statistical table, the cross-line statistical chart can better reflect the trend of population change and dust storm growth in China from the 1950s to the 1990s, and we can see that population growth and dust storms are related."
"The population increases, more trees are cut down, the area of desertification expands, and the strong winds and unstable air in the spring create dust storms."
In an ordinary classroom at Changan Elementary School, which has a century-old school history in Xicheng District, Beijing, a fifth-grade elementary school student was speaking on the podium about the relationship between human activities and dust storms, and the big screen behind them was the "research results" summarized by their group, while the three teachers and other students sitting under the platform raised questions from time to time.
If it wasn ’ t for your own eyes, you might find it hard to believe that this was the class statement of a fifth-grader.
You may not think that this is neither a math lesson nor a science lesson, but a language lesson on a “study report on a sandstorm. ”
The study reports that this word, perhaps only mentioned in college classes, now appears in the language class of the fifth grade of elementary school.
Faced with this strange topic, the students do not know where to start, Liu teacher told everyone, in fact, the writing of the "research report" only needs three steps: collate the data, analyze the data, and draw conclusions.
However, in the face of a pile of dense information about the sandstorm, the students were troubled: "Teacher, we see so many numbers are almost dizzy!"
"Don 't worry, we ask Mr. Feng to help everyone." Mr. Liu asked Mr. Feng to take the math class to the podium.
Under the guidance of Mr. Feng, the students in each group sorted the numbers into strips of statistical charts, statistical tables and folding statistical charts, so that the dazzling data suddenly became clear at a glance.
We found that the population growth has a lot to do with the frequency of dust storms.
The students also found that the most frequent sandstorms occurred in the spring.
"Then why is this? We ask Mr. Zhang in the science and technology class to explain to you." Mr. Feng gave the class to Mr. Zhang.
Zhang told everyone that there are many reasons for the formation of dust storms, among which sand sources, strong winds and unstable air are the main factors.
After playing a short film introducing the cause of the sandstorm, Teacher Zhang guided the students to have a lively discussion about the relationship between the increase in population and sand sources, the characteristics of the spring climate, and the sandstorm.
For this innovative way of teaching, Director Chen, who has been responsible for the sustainable development education project of Changan Primary School, has deep feelings: "With sustainable development education as the main line, teachers have integrated many repetitive knowledge points in various subject teaching materials in advance."
The teaching content, which used to require three class hours, can now be finished with only one class hour, and the teaching effect is better.
There are also more opportunities for exchanges and cooperation between teachers, and the teaching atmosphere in the school has become more harmonious.
"I am really grateful to the science and technology teachers, the math teachers and me for taking this class together, and my classroom burden has been reduced a lot."
Although the cooperation of different teachers means that the workload before class increases, but our comprehensive quality has also been improved. "After experiencing this new teaching method firsthand, teacher Liu felt a lot.
"We have to prepare a lot of information before class, so that we can understand a lot of extracurricular knowledge, class we can freely discuss, express their ideas, after class originally to write three homework, now only to write one, and we are related to life, interesting topics, of course we like it!"
Changan Primary School ’ s refreshing teaching content and methods are the positive and effective results of the Environmental Educators ’ Initiative (EEI), a long-term education project launched in 1997 by the Ministry of Education of China, WWF and bp. Development education is integrated into the basic education curriculum of primary and secondary schools throughout the country.
As a pilot school of EEI, Changan Primary School has integrated the repetitive contents of different subject materials into sustainable development education after six years of practical exploration and summed up a unique curriculum model.
However, any innovation has to pay a price, and Changan Primary School has faced many difficulties in the exploration of sustainable development education.
"Interdisciplinary penetration of teaching reduces the burden on students, but increases the workload of teachers."
However, the school finally overcame the difficulties of limited funds and manpower, and carried out educational activities on the themes of "Protecting Resources, Starting with Me", "The Prairie and Sandstorm" and "The Yellow River, the Eternal Mother" in all grades, with good results.
"In their green diaries, students not only have their own whimsical water saving tips, but also their imagination of the Beijing Green Olympics," said Cui. "We find that the concept of sustainable development is gradually deepening into the lives and learning of the students."
In the past six years, as a consultant for the sustainable development education project of Changan Primary School, Dr. Tian Qing of the Environmental Education Center of Beijing Normal University (EEI Project Partner) has been involved in the exploration of the interdisciplinary penetration teaching model of Changan Primary School and has put forward many valuable suggestions.
"This teaching model of Changan Primary School is relatively cutting-edge in China and even in the world, and it provides a model and concept worth promoting for our sustainable development education," she said.
That is, in addition to teaching knowledge, schools should also cultivate students' values of sustainable development and the ability to observe and solve problems in a vivid and diverse manner. "
As for the teaching exploration of Chang ’ an Primary School, Mr. Li Qing, who is in charge of the EEI project at WWF China, commented: “One of the ideas we have always emphasized in the implementation of the EEI project is that the school can only say that it has achieved certain success by changing the teachers and students from ‘ I want to do ’ to ‘ I want to do ’.
From “education about the environment ” to“ education for sustainable development ”, the EEI project has undergone a rich and varied exploration process.
More and more EEI pilot schools around the country have joined the exploration of sustainable development education, and they integrate the local reality and subtly cultivate the concept of sustainable development in their daily learning and life.
After nine years of efforts, the EEI project has set up sustainable development education centers in 19 teachers' colleges and two comprehensive universities nationwide, 86 primary and secondary schools and three environmental education field bases in 23 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, and has directly benefited 5 million students.
We see that through the rich and diverse forms of teaching practice carried out by EEI project pilot schools across the country, EEI is forming a teaching environment that advocates the concept of sustainable development.
More and more teachers and students are discovering that education for sustainable development is all around us.
We have reason to believe that when the green seeds are sown in the fertile soil of the child's heart, they will take root and grow into towering trees under the care of the spring breeze and rain.
By then, it was the moving moment for us to gather our green dreams!

Cooperation, Promotion of China 's Sustainable Development EEI Project Experience Exchange Session
“The most exciting thing about participating in the EEI is that through our training, teachers from rural areas have found confidence, and they can influence the people around them in various ways, and work together to bring about a little good change in our environment, ” Yang Chen of the Sustainable Development Education Center of Guizhou Normal University told the author.
Yang Chen made the remarks at the "Cooperation to Promote China's Sustainable Development Experience Exchange Meeting" held on May 26 this year.
One of the main objectives of the meeting was to present the main results of the “Green Education Initiative for Primary and Secondary Schools in China ” (EEI) in the past eight years.
"Green Education Action for Primary and Secondary Schools in China" is a ten-year project jointly launched by the Chinese Ministry of Education, WWF and BP in 1997, aiming to integrate environmental education and sustainable development education into China's formal education system, making environmental content and sustainable development an integral part of the school curriculum of 200 million Chinese primary and secondary school students.
In the past nine years, EEI has established 21 “sustainable development education centers ” in major higher education institutions across the country.
At the center, more than 160 university teachers from the humanities, nature and social disciplines formed a professional team of sustainable development education teachers, the conference is a communication platform for these teachers from all over the country, and other government, non-governmental organizations and enterprises concerned with environmental education and sustainable development education from the government, non-governmental organizations and enterprises to share experience and resources.
Unlike the issues discussed by most of the teachers who attended the conference, Yang Chen from Guizhou faced the problem of how to teach the concept of sustainable development in remote rural areas. “Guizhou is a mountainous area, and transportation is very inconvenient.
Our approach is to take advantage of opportunities to bring together teachers from the diaspora and to produce as many teachers as possible for the countryside who can teach the concept of sustainable development.
At the same time, we also use training and practice to encourage them to observe and think about local environmental problems and apply the knowledge they have learned to change the face of the local environment, "she said.
Three years ago, the teachers and students found that the taste of the water had changed.
Therefore, the teacher launched the students to investigate the surrounding environment, and found that it was due to the use of highly toxic pesticides in the newly built vegetable base nearby.
"In fact, this pesticide can be replaced by another low-toxicity and high-efficiency pesticide, but the price per kilogram difference is a few cents." Teacher Yang introduced. "How to let illiterate farmers understand the relationship between pesticide use and water pollution, and convince them to buy higher prices of pesticides, is a problem we face."
"Later, we found that most of the students in this school are from nearby farmers, so the teacher first explained this truth to the students, and then launched them to go home to convince their parents."
At the same time, several village seminars were held in the school to explain the interests of the villagers.
Through these efforts, the villagers have consciously adopted low-toxicity and high-efficiency pesticides, and have also changed some of their unhealthy habits, such as filling empty pesticide pockets with food.
In order to further improve the quality of drinking water in schools, teachers have also mobilized students to participate in the construction of a water purification pool.
Through hard work, children are more aware of the importance of water.
"We have carried out 12 environmental practice projects like this in all parts of the province.
At the same time, we also carried out the project case writing and summary, so as to promote it to other regions, "Yang concluded.
“It doesn ’ t make sense to talk to illiterate ordinary Tibetans about the concept of environmental protection, ” he said.“ Our approach is to deepen their lives, promote the economic development of the community by protecting the local biodiversity and cultural diversity, and educate the masses about the importance of sustainable development with facts. ”
Ba Sang and his colleagues set up a new vegetable greenhouse in Jiama Township, Muzhukongka County, and collected and collated nearly 100 pieces of traditional songs and dances, such as the "Song of Meru" and "Song of Harvest," to protect cultural diversity.
"You are foreigners, but you have helped us to do so much for this land. We who have lived on this land for generations have no reason to love this land more!"
Compared to Ba Sang and Yang Chen, Dr. Tian Qing of the Environmental Education Center of Beijing Normal University is more focused on how to innovate in the teaching content. "The environment is not only the natural environment, but also the cultural environment and the social environment.
Reflected in teaching practice, it is the integration and penetration of interdisciplinary projects with sustainable development as the soul.
For example, in the teaching of the Yangtze River, a new group of subjects will be formed, integrating various subjects such as language, mathematics, history, nature and society.
Train students to understand and analyze problems from a comprehensive perspective from an early age, ” Dr. Tian said.
“EEI strives to reshape China ’ s ability to think and analyze problems for future generations. Therefore, we call it the New People ’ s Movement in the new century, which aims to improve the quality of the entire population and promote the comprehensive reform of the political, economic and educational systems of modern society, ” she stressed.
The EEI training center focuses on the relevance of training, teaching content and objects; the interaction of teaching methods is novel and in-depth; and the focus on ability development and quality education are common teaching characteristics of the EEI training center. Understanding the world and the relationship between man and nature.
The Sustainable Development Education Center of Southwest University has moved the classroom to nature and established a field education base in the Jinyun Mountain Nature Reserve in Chongqing, opening up four natural trails.
Every time I walk down a path, the students finish a lively lesson.
In the training organized by the center for the local environmental protection bureau, a trainee originally planned to report and leave, but did not expect to participate in the 10-day training program from beginning to end.
"This new and informative training is great! I have benefited a lot," the student said.
In this way, through the efforts of EEI's 21 education centers throughout the country, more than 3,000 provincial-level teachers and researchers have received sustainable development education training.
At present, they have become a major force in the implementation and promotion of environmental and sustainable development education in primary and secondary schools throughout the country.
As Ms. Zhu Muju, Deputy Director of the Basic Education Department of the Ministry of Education of China, said in her speech at the conference, “We believe that with the continuous development of the Green Education Action for Primary and Secondary Schools in China, it will greatly promote the development of environmental and sustainable development education in China, and have a long-term and positive impact on China ’ s education and social development. ”
Let us work together to sow green seeds and harvest a beautiful tomorrow!

Content: Leonardtown, Maryland – In an effort to address the need for accessible and cost-effective water quality monitoring in the Chesapeake Bay, teachers and students at the Dr. James A Forrest Career and Technology Center have joined forces with community volunteers. Their collaboration aims to create inexpensive remote monitoring kits, known as Breton Observation Boxes (BOBs), funded by a grant from the Chesapeake Bay Trust.

The initiative, spearheaded by Natural Resources Management (NRM) Teacher Dorothy Birch, has the potential to revolutionize the way people perceive and care for the Bay. Birch believes that increasing awareness about water pollution challenges and the Bay’s surface water condition will encourage individuals to become more active in protecting this vital ecosystem.

The BOBs, designed and assembled by volunteer Norm O’Foran with assistance from the school’s Engineering teacher and students, incorporate microprocessor technology and cost approximately $800 each. In contrast, comparable equipment typically sells for over $20,000. These kits can measure various parameters, including air temperature, humidity, water temperature at the surface and bottom, dissolved oxygen, pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, and salinity.

During student field trips in late May, several BOBs were recently deployed in the Breton Bay watershed. Birch expressed her hope that BOBs would one day be present on docks worldwide, highlighting the potential impact of this innovative approach to water monitoring.

The BOBs are recording live data every 10 minutes, providing valuable insights into the water quality of the Chesapeake Bay. The data can be accessed through the following link: https://bit.ly/BOBswaterobs.

The inception of this project occurred when Norm O’Foran and his wife, Shelly, relocated to St. Mary’s County, Maryland, a few years ago. Determined to contribute to the health of the Bay, Norm, a trained horticulturist, initially focused on the lack of submerged aquatic vegetation. However, he soon recognized the need for more comprehensive water quality monitoring that didn’t require costly boating and hand sampling. Leveraging Internet of Things (IoT) makerspace microprocessors, he embarked on developing an affordable solution.

Recognizing the educational potential of the project, Shelly, a retired teacher from Loudoun County, Virginia, envisioned a project-based curriculum that would raise awareness among high school students and enable them to educate the public about water quality issues. Dorothy Birch joined forces with the couple, and together they applied for and received a $5,000 Youth Environmental Education Grant from the Chesapeake Bay Trust for the 2022-2023 school year. The grant funds the necessary supplies to construct the BOB kits.

Grace Anderson, one of the students involved in the project, emphasized the goal of making water quality testing easier and data more accessible while simultaneously raising awareness about the Chesapeake Bay’s condition and the importance of safeguarding its inhabitants.

The project has primarily been led by Dorothy Birch’s NRM students, with support from teenagers in Engineering, Graphic Communications, and the Teacher Academy. These students have gained valuable skills through lessons on microprocessor prototyping, solar panel soldering, branding and marketing, and designing project-based learning activities for other Environmental Science teachers.

The collaborative nature of the project has been a standout feature for many students. Lola Gaytan, a participant in the initiative, expressed her appreciation for the interconnected involvement of different classes, highlighting the support and guidance available throughout the process.

In addition to gaining knowledge about water quality, students have developed essential soft skills such as collaboration and teamwork. Jasper Dichter, another student involved in the project, acknowledged the patience and professionalism required for successful completion, noting the positive impact on the community.

Under the guidance of Dorothy Birch, the NRM students have delved into various aspects of water quality, including instrument calibration, troubleshooting a prototype issue, data analysis at the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory (CBL) in Solomons Island, and ultimately placing the BOBs in the watershed. They have actively monitored and analyzed the collected data, presented their findings at a Commissioners of Leonardtown meeting, designed a website, and created marketing materials to promote their project.

The project has deepened students’ understanding of water quality and instilled a sense of ownership and responsibility for the local waters. Birch expressed her delight in witnessing the students’ growth in problem-solving skills and their heightened connection to the Bay.

As for the accuracy of the data collected by the BOBs, Norm O’Foran acknowledges that there is room for improvement. When comparing the BOBs’ data to that collected by professional instrumentation on the CBL pier, he recognizes the need to enhance the accuracy of their measurements. However, he emphasizes that if the process were as simple as deploying an $800 kit and obtaining data comparable to the $40,000 solution, it would have been accomplished long before now.

The affordable and accessible nature of the BOBs has the potential to transform water quality monitoring not only in the Chesapeake Bay but also in other water bodies globally. With their low cost and ease of use, these kits could revolutionize how communities approach water monitoring, empowering individuals to preserve and protect their local ecosystems actively.

The project’s success can be attributed to the collaboration between teachers, students, and community volunteers. It showcases the power of partnerships in addressing pressing environmental challenges and engaging young minds in meaningful educational experiences.

The innovative approach taken by the teachers and students at the Dr. James A Forrest Career and Technology Center serves as a shining example of how grassroots initiatives can make a significant impact. By combining technology, education, and community involvement, they provide valuable data on water quality and inspire the next generation of environmental stewards.

As the BOBs continue to collect real-time data and raise awareness about the importance of water quality, the hope is that more individuals and communities will be inspired to take action. The Chesapeake Bay and its inhabitants can look forward to a brighter and healthier future through projects like this.

Content: Knowledge alone won’t drive action on climate change

Education should empower children to think about solutions

Rosalind Skillen

Two weeks ago I attended the Youth Environmental Education Congress in Prague. The World Environmental Education Conference has taken place every year since 2003, and this year marked its first youth equivalent.

Some 120 young people from 22 countries met to discuss how to better integrate climate change into education pathways.

We talked about what education should look like in the 21st century and presented policy recommendations to decision-makers. We also learnt from one another, discussed ongoing projects in our respective countries, and participated in workshops led by academics and policy-makers.

The theme of the conference was ‘building bridges’. The question we therefore sought to answer was how to successfully bridge the gap between environmental knowledge and environmental participation.

The science behind climate change is well researched and well documented. A significant proportion of the population already know about this science. However, what we are not seeing is this knowledge or awareness being turned into meaningful environmental action.

While our current education systems operate on the basis that ‘knowledge is power’, it is quite clear that knowledge alone is not enough. We cannot continue along this false premise that knowledge alone will drive change.

Even when people have environmental knowledge, this does not always translate to pro-environmental behaviour.

It is therefore not enough to equip people with knowledge. We need to change their behaviour. The role of our education system, then, needs to shift from one of transfer to one of transformation.

When people think about integrating environmental education in the curriculum, the following question emerges: How can we do this successfully?

Naturally, incorporating topics like sustainability and biodiversity into subjects like science and geography seems like an appropriate fit. This provides students with a rigorous understanding of the science behind climate change, and with evidence and practical examples to explain what is happening to our planet – and to the people living on it.

However, I would argue that it is not enough to simply teach children about the environment. Instead, we need to teach them how to love and care for the environment. We therefore need to see environmental education being mainstreamed and incorporated into a range of subjects, including art, music and English.

Linking climate change to multiple subject areas in interesting and innovative ways will not only improve children’s understanding of how climate change relates to society, but it will also empower children to think about climate solutions.

From writing poems on climate change to painting natural landscapes, there are multiple ways to integrate environmental education into arts and humanities subjects. By doing this, we move beyond the mere transmission of environmental knowledge. We ‘humanise’ the climate crisis.

A recent conversation with an English teacher reminded me of this. She explained how she took students to read Seamus Heaney poetry in the same bogs and peatlands detailed in his work.

This made the lessons more memorable for the students, further engaging them in the content of the poetry, but it also invited them to re-connect with the environment surrounding them. They also spoke with the local community, asking them about how the landscape had changed over time, and such community engagement is another way to make education meaningful.

The aim of environmental education is therefore not to simply flood children with reams of information on climate change. It is to foster children’s critical thinking and further connect them with the natural world – allowing them to understand that we are not apart from nature: we are a part of nature.

One way in which schools can do this is by implementing outdoor learning. Outdoor learning connects students to nature, helping them to develop a duty of care to the environment. Outdoor learning also deconstructs the very notion of ‘learning’, showing us that learning can take place in many different settings.

While some people may be unsure what to think about outdoor learning – especially in not-so-sunny Northern Ireland – growing research demonstrates how outdoor learning significantly improves and accelerates children’s learning and development. For example, children’s motor development, co-ordination and balance hugely improve when they learn outdoors.

Symptoms of children with Attention Deficit Disorder improve when they are outside, and nature also supports children’s language development, particularly for those learning a second language.

Of course, many schools in built-up, urban areas of Belfast may not have easy access to an allotment or a community garden. However, research demonstrates that students’ performance increases even when they see greenery in the classroom. Simply installing window boxes outside the classroom or decorating the room with potted plants are therefore two viable suggestions for schools lacking green space.

In many ways, thinking about the role of environmental education opens an interesting conversation about the role of our education systems more broadly. Exam-based learning has meant that education has become more about making people employable rather than making people better citizens. Beyond serving as an instrument for employability, we must also ensure that education fulfils a more purposeful role.

If education refuses to change and evolve to meet the social and environmental challenges that students face, the system is not learning itself. Environmental education therefore reminds us of the imperative to educate for change. To educate for the future.

Finally, it reminds us that education should empower us and learning should inspire us. These are truths we seem to have forgotten.

Content: KangXuan Culture and Education jointly promote the first sustainable textbook in Taiwan, and work together for the next generation of sustainable education
Taiwan ’ s first “Sustainability Textbook ” was officially released at the Yilan Green Expo 2024. Through the“ Annual Sustainability Case, Solution, and Cross-border Resources ” approach, the sustainable education scene is transformed with 10 sustainable living issues, so that the sustainable talents needed in the future can be trained from the K12 education scene.
Kang Xuan Culture & Education provides curriculum maps, animations, picture books and other resources, and pays attention to aesthetic education, so that students can understand sustainability in a fun and understandable way and implement it in their lives.
Dr. Yang Chen-fu, General Convenor of Earth Solution and CEO of 5% Design Action, pointed out that the sustainable textbook looks like a book in name and form, but it is not a textbook of traditional impressions, and the most important value is to build a bridge of industrial sustainable education cooperation.
Sustainability Textbooks are a key part of the strategy of developing sustainable practices on the campus. International sustainability trends emphasize that textbooks not only have the function of acquiring knowledge, but also the core content of sustainable textbooks. And...
Huang Huizhong, general manager of Kang Xuan Culture and Education, said that Kang Xuan Culture and Education has been engaged in kindergarten education and primary and secondary school textbooks for more than 30 years, and has also helped the Ministry of Education to promote various education policies.
And we know that SDGs are not just about education, but also about major issues of global concern, and we see that education is the key to sustainable development.
Therefore, we began to organize teacher learning activities in the field of education where we are good at, produce curriculum maps corresponding to the SDGs in textbooks, and also produce a special publication on SDGs to promote them, so that primary and secondary school teachers can quickly grasp the teaching links between the curriculum and the 17 indicators, as well as extended learning textbooks, magazine books, etc.
Over the past few years, we have found that more and more teachers are asking about this topic, and we look forward to more teaching resources to discuss it together.
In the development of various teaching activities, we found that if the various practical actions in society are taken as examples, students can learn more about the real world. Therefore, when we heard the concept of sustainable textbooks mentioned by the organizer 5% Design Action, we were very happy to say that we can immediately advocate and support the activities of sustainable textbooks.
In the future, KangXuan will not only integrate the Ministry of Education ’ s departmental curriculum or the school ’ s standardized curriculum into the SDGs, but will also help bring practical cases of enterprises into the teaching activities of teachers, connecting students with real life, and implementing KangXuan ’ s vision, and together hope for a beautiful future for children.
In addition to using textbooks to integrate the concept of sustainability on the campus, Kang Xuan Culture & Education takes its corporate responsibility and leads its staff to conduct beach clean-up activities on the North Coast. It ’ s another way to live forever in your life.
The first issue of the “Sustainable Textbook ” is called by the“ Earth Solution ” and 5% Design Action social design platform. This year, through an editorial board composed of 11 cross-domain experts from KangXuan Culture and Education, 10 brands are launched as the first issue of the magazine. The sustainable cases and solutions and corporate resources are integrated into sustainable education to benchmark the sustainable literacy mentioned in the future 118 curriculum.
The first issue of sustainable textbooks will be officially launched on World Environment Day on June 5, and will be free for school teachers to download and use in the future, and further connect to more than 1,000 schools across the country, and call on at least 100 companies to join the ranks of sustainable textbooks every year.

In order to help more people understand the importance of sustainable development, we have specially selected the beautiful island station at the intersection of red orange line to guide people to interact with each other through a variety of exhibition areas, to stimulate the willingness to learn, to promote the general public's basic understanding of environmental conservation, and to encourage the cultivation of green and sustainable attitudes and actions.
The event is a lively market, including the annual selection of outstanding special schools and sustainable action lesson plans, with lively video introduction and practical teaching aids, easy to understand, regular and enthusiastic teachers teaching sharing, showing enthusiasm and vitality for land and life, and fun activities, free VR experience, painting book reading, sustainable touch and green life circle, and the opportunity to win prizes. Make it easy for everyone to get environmental knowledge.
Since 2014, the company has been committed to sustainable environmental education projects and sustainable urban and rural education projects, starting from Nanzi, Kaohsiung, to help establish "one school, one feature", and combined with the community to create ecological environment education and guided tours, and has also cultivated many seed teachers.
This year, the program also provides a public version of the lesson plan, allowing teachers to show breakthrough ideas, integrate key campus features, and SDGs and the concept of green living for all, to produce a unique lesson plan, and then through teaching, cultivate more environmental education seeds, so that children have the opportunity to think about how to help nature and practice love the earth.
Xie Wenbin, director of the Education Bureau of the Kaohsiung Municipal Government, said that environmental protection awareness is surging and is in line with the world trend. These are all places that the campus can focus on, and can use the implementation of relevant management systems and concepts.
I am glad that today is a start, and I hope that these selected lesson plans can be applied more comprehensively in the future, so that environmental education can take root in a sustainable way.

Do not encourage pupils to join climate protests, says draft DfE strategy

Document says it would not be appropriate for schools to encourage children to join campaigns

Education editor

Last modified on Fri 5 Nov 2021 11.28 EDT

Schools in England should not encourage pupils to take part in climate protests or join campaigns, according to a draft strategy paper on sustainability and climate change published by the Department for Education.

The document was published after Nadhim Zahawi, the education secretary, said students concerned by climate change should consider careers in science and technology, and warned they risked incurring fines if they skipped classes to join protests.

The draft strategy acknowledges that “young people are anxious to create a greener, more sustainable world” but says that “while schools should support pupil’s interest in climate change and tackling both its causes and effects, it would not be appropriate to encourage pupils to join specific campaigning groups or engage in specific political activity, such as protests.”

It says teachers are not obliged to present opposing views on climate change for the sake of balance. “Teaching about climate change, and the scientific facts and evidence behind this, does not constitute teaching about a political issue and schools do not need to present misinformation or unsubstantiated claims to provide balance,” it says.

But it warns that “political issues and partisan political views, for example on social and economic reform,” should be handled in line with existing legal duties on political impartiality in the classroom.

The document – a draft of proposals to be presented next year – sets out the need for a voluntary “model curriculum” for primary schools to teach about climate change as part of science, while lesson plans will be offered to secondary school teachers wanting to include climate change in subjects where it is not already covered.

Nadia Whittome, the Labour MP for Nottingham East, said the proposals would not do enough to equip pupils with the skills they need to tackle climate change. “This is not the comprehensive review of the curriculum, with climate change embedded across all subjects, that we have called for. Teaching about the climate will remain voluntary, so many young people will continue to miss out,” Whittome said.

Outside of the classroom, a climate leaders award scheme is to be developed, modelled on the Duke of Edinburgh awards. By 2030 “significant numbers of young people will have graduated from the climate leaders award with the skills needed to enter the green skills economy”, the document says.

The draft strategy named Zahawi as the DfE’s climate change minister, and was published as the education secretary was hosting a panel of education and environment ministers as part of the Cop26 climate summit.

Declining to take part in Friday’s march by young activists including Vanessa Nakate and Greta Thunberg in Glasgow, Zahawi said: “I wish they were doing it on a Saturday and a Sunday, not in school time.”

He said students should “think about their own career in science and technology and innovation” rather than protesting. “I would urge children not to miss school, not to miss class – we don’t want to get into a situation where teachers and headteachers are having to issue fines for missing education,” Zahawi said.

The draft strategy proposes a voluntary 'model curriculum' for primary schools to teach climate change as part of science.

A total of 18 young people from 12 primary and post primary schools participated in the event held to advance environmental awareness among the younger generation by providing them with a platform to research, speak out, and examine environmental issues. The competition was broken down into two sections Junior P6 & P7 and Senior Y8, Y9 and Y10.

Councillor Caleb McCready, Chair of the Council’s Environment and Sustainability Committee said: “Combating climate change and preserving our environment, oceans and biodiversity is a global priority. We need everyone to play their part in increasing recycling and choosing sustainable options such as reuse in order to move to a Circular Economy and help protect our natural resources.

"I’d like to thank schools and students for their contributions to the council’s Environmental Youth Speak competition this year. Empowering the next generation to speak out is a hugely important part of effective climate action globally, and it will only have a positive effect on our Council too.

"Protecting the environment is an important role for everyone and it is encouraging to hear pupils talk so passionately about waste reduction and recycling. I hope their speeches influence fellow classmates, friends and family to reduce, reuse and recycle in the years ahead.”

‘Back to the future’ was the theme for the Junior section and pupils were required to research how and why waste has increased dramatically over the past 50 years and highlight lessons that can be learned from the past to reduce waste in the future.

The senior section had a theme of ‘How can we put the brakes on fast fashion’ asking them to discuss the impact of fast fashion globally.

The aim of the competition was to encourage environmental awareness among young people by providing them with an opportunity to research environmental issues.

Taking the Junior section Winners’ Cups back to their school was Abbey McBride & Grace Wilkinson of Dundonald P.S., with Kirsten Harvey of Riverdale P.S. in second place and Holly Mullen & Rayne Lundy of Annahilt P.S in 3rd place.

The Senior Section winners trophy went to Molly McWilliams of Laurelhill Community College, with James Muldoon of Lagan College in second place and Eve Courtney & Zola Carnew of Wallace High School in 3rd place.

All participants received a certificate and a reusable shopping bag made from recycled material and an Insulated Stainless Steel drink bottle.

Beloit Memorial High School and the Welty Environmental Center have a successful partnership supporting environmental conservation efforts.

Content: BELOIT—A group of students from Beloit Memorial High School helped clean up Big Hill Park on Wednesday.

Raven Regenold and Anna Olson coordinated the litter pickup event with students from the BMHS National Honor Society. Regenold took the initiative and came up with the idea for the event. Regenold contacted Brenda Plakans, Executive Director of Welty Environmental Center, to get permission to use the space and come up with the plan.

Olson helped coordinate dates and times for the students to all be able to attend the event. There were five total students including Regenold and Olson in attendance. Kayle Olson, Tessa Dungen, and Naoki Nikora also participated in the event. Tessa Dungen wasn’t part of NHS, but wanted to help out with the project.

“We were able to fill a garbage bag full of litter around the Park,” Regenold explained.

They found biodegradable trash around the park. The group considered the day a success and were happy to see the park cleaner, noting how important the park is to the community and people living in the area.

“Big Hill Park is a place for people to get together, go on hikes with their spices, or walk their dogs,” Kayla Olson said.

The students thought it was important to preserve this community space for all to use.

The group of students are planning more community outreach events such as a blood drive and working with hospice patients.
