Task 1. Read the text. Take action!
If you care about the environment, you will really enjoy this month's newsletter. Let's go to Costa Rica and see how one determined teenager has tried to change the world.
Janine Licare was only nine years old when she decided to take action. She was worried because the rainforest around her home in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, was disappearing. The animals and birds were disappearing too. So, together with a friend, Janine started a campaign to protect her local environment. They called it Kids Saving the Rainforest.
The aims of Kids Saving the Rainforest are to teach children about the rainforest and to help the animals that live there, especially the endangered Monoo Titi monkey.
Janine has achieved a lot. She has
- raised more than $50,000
- planted over 4,800 trees
- found over 250 volunteers to work with her helped many injured birds and animals
- started a variety of different projects,such as 'Adopt-a-tree'
- worked with other schoolchildren
around the world
- developed an environmental library and research centre.
Janine has appeared in several
magazines, and she has been on the National Geographic TV channel as well. She has also developed a special website:
www.kidssavingtherainforest.org. 'It is very important that we save the rainforest. If the rainforest disappears, then so will our planet.' Janine Licare
