The OurEcho Challenge teams have been hard at work, hosting biodiversity events in their communities and engaging their peers. We are thrilled to see how far they've come. So, where are they now?
Young ocean advocates from 19 states and Washington D.C. shared perspectives on achieving 30x30 and the America the Beautiful Vision with NOAA leadership at the EarthEcho Youth Action Network Meet-Up: NOAA Town Hall.
Since 2020, the OurEcho Challenge has put $30,000 into the hands of young change makers.This middle school science competition is designed to engage teams of young problem solvers in studying, respecting, and protecting the diversity of species and ecosystems that make life on earth possible. Guided by a teacher or mentor, teams are challenged to address the decline in biodiversity by identifying threats to natural resources in their communities and developing innovative solutions.
