In the second of our series showcasing the role young people are having in fighting climate and environmental issues we are in Ecuador meeting the young people fighting deforestation.
Ecuador’s forests are disappearing faster than in any other Latin American country.
This threatens plants, animals, and the people whose cultures are intrinsically linked to their environments.
Indigenous youth in the Ecuadorian Amazon are part of a growing global movement of young climate activists taking a stand against environmental degradation and the climate crisis.
They’ll take their demands to the Paris Climate Change Conference in December.
The Youth on Climate project is a project of the Global Green Grants Fund.
