My name’s Leah and I’m seventeen. I want to become a conservationist. I’m
keen on apes as they are absolutely incredible animals. Did you know that apes
use sticks and leaves to build a kind of a bed to sleep or that they use facial
expressions, gestures and a large vocabulary of sounds to communicate with
each other? Some of them even proved to be able to understand human language
and even do Math!
Ever since I was a child, I used every opportunity to learn anything about
apes, and the older I got, the more disturbing facts appeared. The forests of
Congo – the natural habitat of the gorilla species are being cut down to mine
coltan – the material used in phones, game consoles and other gadgets. Today’s
technologies made it possible for the poachers to make a fortune by selling
endangered animals via Instagram and other social media.
One day I was scrolling through Instagram and came across the news about
a sixteen-year-old girl, Greta Thunberg, who addressed the U.N.'s Climate Action
Summit in New York City. So I thought: she made the whole world listen to her,
why can’t I? I must say I don’t think Greta is a role model for me, or that she
should be for anyone. I think she’s being too provocative and the way she fi ghts
for the environment is more of words than of deeds. But she did attract attention
to climate change issues, and that was what I drew inspiration from.
I’ve always been good at computer science, so I decided to create an app
which would make it possible to donate money with just one tap on the screen. It
wasn’t that easy but I was determined to achieve my goal and eventually I did it!
The app is basically an arcade game where you help a cute chimp called Muffi n
to get through a labyrinth to the nature reserve avoiding poachers and other
dangerous traps on its way. The game is free, but you can buy hints, extra time
and clothes for Muffi n in the game store. All the items are no more expensive
than 10 pence and all the profi t goes to the Jane Goodall Institute which helps to
protect chimpanzees and promotes action to conserve the natural world.
The game has been at the top of the local app chart for a few weeks and I
hope it’ll only gain in popularity. Some people say it’s a great achievement for
someone my age but I feel it’s just a drop in the ocean.If only I’d started much
earlier. If I’d started a couple of years ago, I could’ve done much more to help
those in need. But what I’ve realised is that you don’t need to be rich or a person
in power to change this world for the better, it’s actually a small thing that can
make a difference.]]> 2021-11-18 18:23:33 UTC https://padlet.com/olialankut/wi21e2dywcdugjdk/wish/1900267310 https://padlet.com/olialankut/wi21e2dywcdugjdk/wish/1911077534 2021-11-24 17:42:04 UTC https://padlet.com/olialankut/wi21e2dywcdugjdk/wish/1911077534 https://padlet.com/olialankut/wi21e2dywcdugjdk/wish/1911923193 Diana, Sasha and Lenka]]> 2021-11-25 05:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/olialankut/wi21e2dywcdugjdk/wish/1911923193 https://padlet.com/olialankut/wi21e2dywcdugjdk/wish/1911925770 2021-11-25 05:40:47 UTC https://padlet.com/olialankut/wi21e2dywcdugjdk/wish/1911925770
