March 21, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EDT
Join Callie as she announces an emergency campaign to save 1,050 acres of the Ecuadorian Chocó rainforest, one of the most biodiverse places on the planet, from illegal mining. Callie founded Reserva: The Youth Land Trust to empower young people around the world to take solution-based action toward solving our climate and biodiversity crises. She and her team succeeded in creating the world’s first entirely youth-funded nature reserve. Now they want to buy the land next to it, to protect it from recently discovered illegal mining. Join her as she shares some stories and amazing photos of the encredible biodiversity found within the cloud forest, and how students can take action right now to protect a beautiful cloud forest in the Ecuadorian Chocó!
