Rare monkey sightings! | Your Planet | Newsround

This week’s news takes us on a journey across the globe, starting in Kenya, where farmers are turning to bamboo to protect their land and support their income. Bamboo not only helps prevent soil erosion and clean water, but it also works as a secondary crop when tea prices drop. Then we fly to Indonesia, where a family is adjusting to life surrounded by rising sea levels. They’re planting mangrove trees to guard their homes against waves and wind, while the government plans to build a massive sea wall. Finally, we travel to China, where special cameras captured rare footage of snub-nosed monkeys, including both golden and black-and-white varieties. Scientists are excited to see these endangered animals thriving in their natural environment. 🌿🌊🐒
