Isabella cares deeply for nature and wants to inspire as many people as possible to look after it. Isabella has seen first-hand the effects of littering, pollution and habitat destruction on her home in Cumbria, which has motivated her to get involved in lots of eco projects.

It doesn鈥檛 stop there, Isabella is also part of her school鈥檚 eco council where she develops ideas to make her school more sustainable.
So far, they have created a community garden, done litter picks and raised awareness for environmental issues on social media. Our judges were so impressed by Isabella鈥檚 work and can鈥檛 wait to see the impact that it has!

Rosa (10) 鈥 Suffolk, England
Rosa shows us that using our voice can take many forms when it comes to taking action for the planet. Along with her best friend Alice, Rosa began a silent protest for climate change in her school every week during break time.
They make signs to help raise awareness of climate change issues and have continued to protest for over a term now. They have even inspired a number of their friends to take part as well. This wasn鈥檛 enough for Rosa though, and so with friends she decided to run a tabletop sale to raise money for the conservation charity, WWF.
They set up the whole event themselves and managed to raise a whopping 拢400 which they split between WWF and the Red Cross fund for Ukranian refugees.

Toby is a wildlife presenter in the making and uses his voice to educate others about nature. Toby loves to make videos about the wildlife he encounters around his home, as well as tips and tricks on how to spot different species and how to encourage them to your home.
He has even started making films with Cheshire Wildlife Trust, inspiring others to take action for the planet. Not only this, he has also appeared in their magazine, and is going to make nature videos for Eco Schools England to engage other young people with nature. Phew!
