Learning about different partners in the fight against poverty

I'm still here at the Youth Assembly, and learning of different organizations and amazing projects all the time. One such organization is Roots and Shoots -- a project founded by Dr. Jane Goodall, that aims to empower youth to make a difference in their own communities. The two presenters from Roots and Shoots asked the audience to think about these questions:

- What kinds of air/water/land pollution do you see in your community?
- Do you know of any endangered plant species in your community?
- Do you know of any endangered animal species in your community?
