Adventure Badges for Junior Explorers
Our Junior Explorer Badges invite curious kids aged 8–13 to dive into real-world adventures where they explore nature, complete fun challenges, and learn how to care for the world around them. As they complete each adventure, they earn badges to celebrate their progress, and when they finish a full category, they unlock a special certificate. With paths like Backyard Biology, Earth Protectors, Wildlife Heroes, and Kinder Kids, every young explorer can discover their passion and grow into a confident, caring protector of people, animals, and the planet.
Certified courses for the next generation of nature & wildlife conservation heroes
Our Wild Ranger courses are designed for teens aged 14–18 who are ready to take their passion for wildlife and the environment to the next level and explore conservation careers. Through engaging, real-world courses, they build practical knowledge and skills while exploring nature and wildlife conservation and ecology. Each completed course earns a certificate, and our Wild Rangers also get opportunities to join real-life training experiences in nature with trained guides and educators. It’s a powerful way to grow into confident young conservationists while gaining hands-on experience in the wild.
