My name is Jack, I am eleven-years-old, and I go by the name Kid Conservationist. I am the Youth Ambassador for Orangutan Alliance and Orang Utan Republik. My goal is to get orangutans off the endangered species list by spreading awareness of our environment and threats species face as a result of our actions. In order to reach this goal, I present to kids and adults at schools, zoos, and libraries across the globe. I create fun, educational YouTube videos where I interview experts in the field, as well as make videos showcasing ways we all can protect our environment. Also, I raise money to help endangered species. My funds have helped to plant over 8,000 trees as part of the Orangutan Alliance team. Last year I sold reusable bags that helped to reduce single-use plastic locally in New Hampshire, and raised money for orangutan rehabilitation and reforestation globally. Currently, I am selling a children’s book that I have written, which will not only raise awareness of the orangutans, but every book will plant a tree and raise additional conservation funds. For my efforts to educate and protect our environment l was named a Top 20 Finalist for the first-ever TIME Kid of the Year in 2020.
