Champions of Africa's Biodiversity Struggle

Three picture stories about children who help bees, birds and elephants, and bring nature back to life.

In the heart of Africa, the sun touches the horizon, and the grassy plains are full of stories. It is a land full of nature's wonders. But the Earth has a sad secret. Among the rustling leaves and the sounds of the wild, you can hear a soft sigh, because nature's bright colours are fading. The land's heartbeat is growing weaker, and the breeze is calling for helpers to listen to nature's cry. In this book, you will meet three young heroes: Zara, Malik and Amina. They love their African home, and they set off on brave quests, guided by the wind and the wise elders. On their journeys, they find out why plants and animals are disappearing, and why people and nature have stopped living in harmony. These stories are not just words and pictures. They show Africa's beating heart. They ask us to listen, to care, and to protect all the wonderful life that Africa holds.
