This week on Earth Matters, we explore two different projects aiming to get the younger generation more interested in environmental conservation efforts.

The story, which is about a little tapir called Timo, puts endangered Asian animals in the spotlight, and we find out more about their efforts to get young kids interested in the environment and endangered Asian animals.
