FYI

On this week’s FYI:

We hear from a young campaigner on why she wants an elephant released from a zoo in the USA and we have a report from Cameroon where rainforests are disappearing, which is harming both humans and animals. Plus, we speak to the stars of Home Sweet Home Alone.

Next week on FYI: For Your Info:

We have a report from a young activist in Canada where climate change is happening right now, and we meet two boys who have come together to make a music video celebrating their differences. Plus, we speak to the stars of A Boy Called Christmas on the red carpet.

Watch six films by six young climate activists from six different continents, here. The films, made with Sky Kids, deliver a powerful message about how climate change is already having an impact on their lives, as world leaders gather in Glasgow for COP26.
