Building climate resilience begins with knowledge. WildlifeDirect’s pioneering Climate Action Programme is helping students across Kenya and Rwanda to recognise climate change and take action in their areas. The programme was rolled out early in 2026 across 106 schools, with a total of 6,030 learners, including children with intellectual disabilities. It combines climate education and capacity building for teachers with student-led projects and grants to support practical climate action solutions.

A remarkable initiative has taken root to cultivate a new generation of eco-conscious citizens in a world where environmental concerns are at the forefront of global discussions. Imagine a group of enthusiastic school children, armed with knowledge, and inspired by a TV education program, actively participating in environmental conservation efforts. It is not a far-fetched dream but a reality unfolding in classrooms around the world.

WildlifeDirect is rolling out the Nature Positive Kids Outreach Program that aims to inspire and catalyze behavioral change that will have a lasting impact on the conservation of species-rich landscapes and generate meaningful economic development opportunities for communities in East Africa.

A new nature-based conservation series targeting children aged 7-12-years-old is taking Africa by storm. Team Sayari is a National Geographic Kids programme that was launched in Kenya on September 17, 2022 and premiered across Africa on September 24, 2022 and airs every Saturday at 2:00 p.m. EAT via National Geographic Wild TV Channel (DStv 182, Starsat 221).
