They are on forest, water, soil, ocean, climate change and food security, biological diversity, ending hunger, climate change in addition nutrition and energy in draft form. Now children globally benefited these challenges and the number of participating countries steadily goes up. All of these books are available in UN FAO YUNGA website with different languages. Almost each book starts with a painting competition to make the book design. I am working with scouts, guides, school children, members of children environmental education Book are always start with a welcome address and general information on challenges . Then badge structure and curriculum goes on . Sample curriculums given on each age group. Second main part is the background information. Lets take Forest as an example there is four or five sections in each section.Section A İt starts with simple questions What is forest? What is tree Layers living creatures.
