Synopsis (short abstract) The Forest Kids biodiversity video game was launched by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, created with the support of the European Space Agency (ESA) and Avoin Ry and funded by the European Union. Forest Kids guides children on an expedition around the world and invites the virtual travellers to explore four types of forest – boreal, tropical, temperate and arid – while spotting flora and fauna, matching pairs of animals within their biomes and sorting non-wood forest products as they go. It is an educational video game in six languages to engage new generations and raise awareness of the importance of trees and forests to life on Earth. Forest Kids features Paxi, an earth-loving alien who is the official mascot of ESA. The game is accessible via the app Forest Kids on both Android and iOS platforms and online at https://www.fao.org/forest-resources-assessment/ForestKids.The Forest Kids colouring booklet was created to further engage children in discovering forests and biodiversity by personalizing the forests, flora and fauna featured in the video game, as well as to learn age-accessible facts about the four featured biomes (Arid, Boreal, Temperate and Tropical). Use your imagination to bring forests to life with the Forest Kids colouring booklet!

    Guidance on developing forest education programmes for primary schools 2023

    Forest education builds the knowledge, skills, and shared values that underpin sustainable forestry and its contributions to sustainable development goals, such as those set out in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In recent years, however, international forums have expressed concern that, in most countries, forest-related education is insufficient and outdated. The net result is a lack of awareness and understanding among people of all ages of the importance of forests. Equipping children with knowledge about the vital functions of forests is essential for conserving natural resources for future generations. By nurturing awareness and a sustainability attitude in today's children, we pave the way for responsible environmental stewardship among the adults of tomorrow. This begins with reinforcing environmental education programmes that ignite curiosity about the natural world, ultimately nurturing ecologically literate citizens capable of ensuring the sustainable management of our environment, including forests. Inspiring children from an early age builds an appreciation of forests and encourages them to explore careers that benefit society and the environment. This publication caters to nations and jurisdictions interested in expanding forest education among primary-school-aged children. Drawing from lessons learned by implementing project GCP/INT/349/GER, it offers guidance for decision-makers, educational authorities, and institutions seeking to introduce forest education into their curricula, existing school programmes, and informal education settings.
