Wildlife Story Series
All books will feature a bilingual story in English and Simplified Chinese. In addition, the story of the orangutan will feature in Bahasa. Each book also contains a blank section which children can use as a practical notebook.
why do we publish the Wildlife Story Series ?
The Wildlife Notebook Series aims to encourage wildlife protection among future generations through emotive storytelling. Illustrated children’s books will recount separate stories of globally-recognized, endangered and critically endangered, much-loved wildlife which inhabit our world – starting with the orangutan, elephant, and sea turtle, will continue with other wildlife. The stories capture the majestic beauty of these animals while sensitively discussing man vs wildlife conflicts and the plight of these animals. These tales will evoke empathy, love and understanding in children for wildlife, and aim to spark a long-term passion for wildlife protection among school children.
published stories
The Adventures of Baby Ixora
The tropical rainforest in Borneo is home to the majority of orangutans in the world. Orangutans play an important role in our ecosystem because when they discard the pips from the fruit they eat on the soil, they can grow into new trees. Healthy trees and forests help reduce global warming by cooling down the planet and giving us fresh air.
There are around 50,000-65,000 orangutans left in the wild.
The Adventures of Baby Abhaya
The Asian elephant is the second-largest land animal in the world, after the African elephant. The Asian elephant is currently found in 13 countries in South and Southeast Asia, ranging from India to China. The main threats they face are habitat loss due to clearing of forests for subsistence agriculture; mega development projects; poaching for ivory; and illegal capture and retribution-killing for raiding crops.
There are around 450,000 elephants left in the wild.
The Story of Baby Lucky
Rhinos have one or two horns on their noses. These horns are made of keratin, which is the same type of protein that makes up our hair and fingernails. There is nothing special about the rhino horn but, unfortunately, some people believe it has a magical and therapeutic effect and use it for traditional medicine.
There are around 27,000 rhinos left in the wild.
