ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Land defender

Alright, imagine you have a big, beautiful garden with lots of flowers, trees, and adorable little animal friends like birds and bugs. Now imagine that some bad people want to come and destroy your garden by cutting down trees, trampling on flowers, and scaring away all your animal friends.

But you don't want that to happen because you love your garden and you know how important it is to preserve it for not only you but also the ecosystem around it. So, you become a land defender!

A land defender is someone who loves and protects the land, forests, and animals living there from bad people who want to harm them. They peacefully protest and use their voice to make others aware of the harm the bad people are doing. They try to convince others that destroying the land, forests, and animals living in them is wrong and harmful to everyone, including themselves.

Sometimes, land defenders have to stand in front of the bad people's machines, cutting down trees or digging up soil, to stop them from harming the environment. They do this because they know that the trees, flowers, and animals are important for the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat.

By being a land defender, you are helping to keep the earth healthy and beautiful for all the people, creatures, and plants living on it. So, let's love and protect our planet!
