Adventure Program Linked with Latair the Earth
This event is an interactive program linked with the animated series “Chikyu no Latale.”
Children can participate as “EARTH SAVERS,” learning about the fascinating behaviors of living creatures and becoming allies in protecting the future of the Earth through talk sessions, the journey map activity, dance, and the certification ceremony.
Latair the Earth
The anime “Latair the Earth” is based on the picture book “Latale and the EARTH SAVER: What Endangered Species Can Teach Us,” a story designed to help children enjoyably learn about biodiversity.
Kanade, a slightly shy elementary school student, is transformed into various creatures by the magic of Latale, the Earth fairy! As she befriends creatures from around the world, Kanade learns that many of them are endangered and rises up as an EARTH SAVER.
The work is supervised for SDGs by Haruka Takagishi of CLASS EARTH Co., Ltd., based on the original story, with Shoji Kawamori serving as supervisor and WWF Japan providing additional guidance.
