‘Guardians of the Rainforest’ is about the cocoa farmers who are working together to protect the Gola Rainforest in Sierra Leone, West Africa. The story is told by 14-year-old Beshey, whose family have been cocoa farmers for generations.
The film is 3 minutes 54 seconds and there is a longer version (12 minutes) here. We would recommend the longer version for a KS3 lesson about forest friendly farming and environmental protection.
