According to a survey of 10,000 children in 10 countries, when asked about their priorities, a significant number of kids placed watching TV or playing computer games as their top choice, while only a fraction selected saving the environment.

​

The survey, conducted for the International Year of Biodiversity, revealed that the preference for digital entertainment was ten times higher than the interest in environmental conservation. Additionally, the Airbus Bio-Index discovered that 15 per cent of students aged 5 to 18 lacked an understanding of the term "endangered species."

 

This highlights a concerning lack of awareness among young people regarding the implications and importance of preserving endangered flora and fauna!
