Action For Nature (AFN), a non-profit organization, has created the International Young Eco-Hero Awards to recognize and reward the successful individual environmental initiatives of young people ages 8 to 16. 

Winners of AFN's Eco-Hero Awards have gone on to save cheetahs in Namibia, work for Google, and become ambassadors for the UN. 

If you, or a young person you know is: 

• "working to preserve the world around you
• teaching others how to protect the environment
• doing an environmental research project"

then you are an Eco-Hero and should apply!
