This film collection features two films: The Conservation kid and The Story of the Leatherback. Total time: 22min

The Conservation Kid (11min)
When young Cash Daniels learned that 80% of trash in the ocean comes from rivers, he knew he couldn’t wait for someone else to take action. At the age of seven, Cash, “The Conservation Kid,” began leading cleanups in the Tennessee River in his hometown, Chattanooga, Tennessee. Six years later, Cash continues to make a significant impact on the river’s health by strategically collecting fishing waste and inspiring his peers to protect the environment.

The Story of the Leatherback (11min)
An account of the Leatherback Sea Turtle, the largest species of turtle on Earth, through the eyes of a 12 year-old boy who has been keeping up with its status and journey in Thailand for 6 years. Its declining population, its plight and how to save the sanctuary where they were born, so that they can have a place to return to lay their eggs.
