Let’s Get Active for Ecosystems!

This year’s Global Action Days activities are all about protecting our planet’s biodiversity and restoring ecosystems around us! Each activity can be done at school or at home, by yourself or with your family, friends and classmates.

Want to help make an even greater impact? To help motivate and inspire others to take action, after completing each activity we ask you to share photos and comments online using the hashtags #GlobalActionDays and #GenerationRestoration. You can also tag us @fee_global!

The GAD (Global Action Days) activities below can be carried out in any order between 22nd April and 6th May 2025. We suggest 2-3 days spent per Activity including the weekend.

ACTIVITY 1: Uncover the hidden heroes beneath your feet!

It is time to become a soil sleuth and explore the incredible world of worms. These tiny creatures are the heroes of our planet, tirelessly working to create healthy, fertile soil so that everything above the surface can grow and thrive. Your first Global Action Days activity is to discover more about these wonderful creatures and life below ground during a Soil Safari!

ACTIVITY 2: Meet our plant protectors!

For the second Global Action Days activity, we want you to explore the amazing ways vegetation, including trees, shrubs, and other plants, help prevent flooding and pollution. Learn about how plants filter water, stabilise soil, and provide shade to reduce evaporation. Share your findings and vegetation-filled photos on social media using the hashtag #GlobalActionDays.

ACTIVITY 3: Building a bioeconomy legacy!

Bioeconomy is about using biological resources to create sustainable products and services. Your weekend activity for the Global Action Days campaign is designed to bring all ages together to learn from past generations so that we can build stronger, more resilient ecosystems for future generations. We invite you to interview older family members and community elders about traditional practices related to agriculture, food preservation, or natural resources.

ACTIVITY 4: Nature’s POV

Let us look at our planet from a different perspective - can you see your local community through nature's eyes? For the fourth Global Actions Days activity we want you to pick up your mobile phones and cameras and take photos that show the planet's problems- from a different angle! Think: litter from a bird’s POV, or deforestation through a tree's branches or tree-dwelling animal. Get creative and connect with nature.

ACTIVITY 5: Throw a nature-inspired party!

For your final Global Action Days activity, we would like you to host an outdoor party for nature and join FEE in celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Learning About Ecosystems and Forests (LEAF). But this is no ordinary party... we would like you to incorporate nature-themed activities, food, and decorations – remember NO WASTE generation into your party planning, to create a memorable event that celebrates nature's beauty and inspires others to live more sustainably.
