In this study, researchers told 13 five-year-olds in a Turkish preschool class a traditional folk story about Nasreddin Hodja. They had adapted the story to show how nature stays in balance. The researchers wanted to see what the children took from it about how people and nature affect each other, and what feelings and values the children expressed afterward.

This study looks at digital comics that tell environmental stories, used with fifth graders at a public elementary school in East Jakarta, Indonesia. After reading, the children discussed and reflected on the causes of environmental problems, their effects and possible solutions. The researchers wanted to know whether this combination would build children’s caring and everyday actions, not just their knowledge.

This study tested a workshop for primary schools in Southwest England that explored why bees are in decline. Children watched a dance performance, made up their own dances and planted seeds. The researchers wanted to know whether "action-based storytelling," meaning stories that show people taking doable steps rather than just describing a problem, would spark children's interest in learning and their belief that they can help.

This study followed a fourth-grade class in Kırşehir, Turkey, as students wrote environmental stories in small groups and turned them into digital storybooks. The researchers wanted to understand the process from the students' side: what they enjoyed, what they found hard and what they felt they gained. They also wanted to draw lessons for teachers running similar projects.

This study looks at Magical Forest VR, a short virtual reality story created at the American University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. In it, undergraduate students explore a forest, discover who is harming it and then help restore it. The researchers asked how the experience shaped students' understanding of environmental problems, their feelings toward nature and their intentions to act.

This study asks whether some kinds of stories are better than others at helping people connect with natural places they have never visited. In an online experiment, people viewed a photo of one of four Australian landscapes. The photo came either on its own or with a short science story, a European history story, or an Indigenous creation story. The researchers then measured how people saw the place and whether they wanted to visit.
