Updated: Nov 20, 2024

Get ready to explore some fascinating environmental news! First, we’re off to Cambodia, where hidden cameras in the Cardamom Mountains have captured rare wildlife, including endangered species. Conservationists hope this footage will shine a light on protecting these incredible animals. Then, we’re heading to Basra, Iraq, where volunteers are planting thousands of trees to revive desert lands, help agriculture, and create habitats for wildlife. Finally, in Stockholm, Sweden, an eco-friendly electric ferry is gliding above the water on hydrofoils, using 80% less energy than regular ferries. These projects are all about making a positive impact for the future of our planet!
