In this video, Antonio the Anteater takes children on a trip to the Amazon Rainforest to find out what Global Goal 15, Life on Land, is all about. Along the way there are facts, jokes, activities and real interviews, so children get a mix of fun and real-world voices as they learn.
The big idea is that people, plants and animals all share the land, and looking after forests and the creatures that live in them is something everyone can help with. It is a gentle, friendly way to introduce biodiversity, rainforests and protecting nature to children, without making it feel heavy or scary.
This works well as a short classroom starter or a family watch at home. Before pressing play, ask children what they think lives in a rainforest. Afterwards, ask: Which animal or fact did you like best, and why do you think it needs a safe home? Children could then draw their own rainforest scene and label the plants and animals they remember, or talk about one small thing they could do to help life on land, such as caring for a garden, a park or a patch of grass.
It is suitable for children aged 3-7, and older children aged 7-11 can use it as a starting point for discussion about the Global Goals and why forests matter.
