	Earthbird magazines and Teacher's guide (FAO)
	The Earthbird Series provides colourful cartoon magazines that raise awareness among young people of the importance of forests, threats to forests and sustainable resource management. The magazines explore such issues as forest products, food security, nutrition and community-based natural resource management. The cartoon magazines are designed for use in schools and include teacher's notes that provide activities to reinforce the messages of the magazines, and to help teachers lead their students in exploring the issues raised in the magazines in the context of their own communities.

	Children and biodiversity booklets (FAO)
	The purpose of the booklets are to explain to secondary school students the links between the environment and the agro-pastoral practices used by farming families and communities. The booklets teach them how nature works, what their local natural resources are and how these resources can be used in a sustainable manner. The booklets encourage young people to appreciate their environment and become responsible for it by protecting and improving the productivity of their land and sharing what they learn within their communities.
