Fascinating Nature: Why is nature important?

mayafarm11

My name is Adreano Finnetty. I am currently a Standard 6 student attending Holy Redeemer Primary School in Belize City. Since I was born, I realized how fascinated I am with nature and the Earth itself. I have taken time and effort to learn as much as possible about nature: from the simplest of organisms, like flowers with the power of pollination; and, bugs which lay millions of eggs every single day; to animals of brute strength like lions and sharks.

Ecokids: the new generation of superheroes!

Every day we begin our daily routines in which we unknowingly are in touch with the ecology that surrounds us. Being an Ecokid means doing things to help our environment sustain itself like: turning off the water while we brush our teeth, volunteering to walk to school some days rather than riding in a car, disposing of our trash in the proper containers, recycling bottles and using plastic instead of Styrofoam containers for our lunch.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

Over recent years, Planet Earth has had serious changes in the Eco system. I have the power to stop these changes. My priority is to save our environment. Our environment is everything around us, from clean, fresh- flowing rivers with colorful fishes breeding and living in it to tall green trees waving their branches at the tapir, jaguar, toucan and many other species that call the rainforest home.

Connecting Kids With Nature Could Just Save the World

Being an eco-kid would give me the opportunity to learn more about nature and to be able to share that knowledge with my classmates, my brothers and sister and my other friends. This year, I would like to be a Chaa Creek Eco-Kid to learn more about how I can make a difference in this beautiful country called Belize. I wonder… what exactly would await me at Chaa Creek? I’d sure like to find out!!

Why Should You Care About the Environment?

why caring for the environment is important

Everyone in today’s world is worried about the environment. There are so many differences in opinion about what to save, what to bulldoze and what animals are becoming endangered. So how can we save ourselves from the fiery feuds and uprisings regarding this subject? Well, for starters, if there’s no environment to live in, people won’t have too much to complain about or attempt to save. .

I Want to Be an Eco Kid of the Belize Rainforest

Belize Rainforests

I want to be an eco kid because I love nature and would like to help protect the rainforest. When I visit the rainforest, the shade from the canopy of trees refreshes me, the smell of green trees relaxes me and the songs of the birds inspire me. I hope and pray that I might find and follow a jaguar’s paw prints on a trail or I may look up high above and see an owl staring back at me. I am lucky to have seen soldier ants carrying leaves to build their homes, pigs grunting by and howler monkeys hanging on tree branches, sounding like thunder. It’s amazing how the rainforest makes such a positive impact on little me.
