We often hear the phrase “protecting the environment for our future generation” and many other iterations of this with the same meaning. This week on Earth Matters, we explore two different projects aiming to get the younger generation more interested in environmental conservation efforts. First up, Abyan Junus-Nishizawa and Farah Landemaine are the founders of Anak Rimba Books, and the self-published authors of their first book “Why Don't I Look Like You." The story, which is about a little tapir called Timo, puts endangered Asian animals in the spotlight, and we find out more about their efforts to get young kids interested in the environment and endangered Asian animals.
