The Amazing Earth

One island, three participants, one mission: to live in harmony with nature! That is the premise behind The Amazing Earth, a Biosphère youth podcast that lets students and your children learn more about the environment.

This project was completed with financial support from the Government of Canada through Environment and Climate Change Canada.

It was also made possible thanks to support from the Government of Quebec.
