A new Roots & Shoots group of 2nd and 3rd graders at the American International School of Lusaka, called “Sprouts”, began in September 2025 and meets weekly for one hour.
After using the Roots & Shoots method of Community Mapping, Sprouts chose to focus on raising awareness, providing education, and fundraising to help save the pangolin — the most trafficked animal in the world. Their work reflects the Roots & Shoots #GenWild campaign, which aims to inspire and educate young people to protect wildlife and speak up for animals everywhere.
To deepen their understanding of pangolins and the threats they face, the group partnered with Wildlife Crime Protection (WCP), an NGO dedicated to preserving Zambia’s wildlife and natural heritage. WCP supports conservation through community engagement and government partnerships, raising awareness about animal trafficking and the illegal bushmeat trade.
