Sofia is from Mexico and has been working to protect our planet since she was 7 years old. She realized that if everyone took small actions to take care of our natural world, it would have a huge impact. She started “Cococu'' a program that equips children with the knowledge to live in harmony with nature and speak up about issues they care about and encourages adults to take the children's perspective into account when making decisions.
Sofia’s work has continued to make an impact. Now she is 12 and has helped to secure 30,000 acres of land to be designated as a protected area of Mexico, helping to protect the jaguar from extinction and its habitat.
The story of a 6 y/o
A story from Mexico
In 2018, when Licypriya was 6 years old, she went to a UN disaster conference in Mongolia with her father and knew she had to start raising awareness on the issue of climate change.
Since then, Licypriya has repeatedly called for the climate crisis to be included in learning throughout India, by attending protests and writing letters. Her efforts have paid off - two Indian states now include teaching about the climate crisis in their school curriculums. What an amazing achievement! But she isn’t stopping there, now Licypriya is 9, and wants to tackle Delhi’s toxic air pollution levels.
