Orang-utan with mother,  Gunung Leuser National Park,  Sumatra, Indonesia - Sumatran Orangutans (Pongo abelii) are listed as critically endangered species of great apes. There are only about 7000 of them left in the rapidly disappearing rainforests on the island of Sumatra. Expansion for palm oil plantation is the  biggest threat to the Orang utan and  is also one of the biggest causes of carbon emissions from Indonesia.

Chanthy,  Koh Kong, Cambodia -  Chanthy is 13. She’s the top student in her class at school in Boeung Kachang village and loves reading and maths. It’s common for her to skip games sessions just to keep reading in the library at the school. She wants to be a doctor, but her father isn’t sure if he can pay for her education as unpredictable weather is affecting his livelihood. During her short life Chanthy has seen many storms and flash floods, but it’s not the thunder and the lightning that frighten her. It’s the fact that her father won’t be able to go out fishing and her family will go hungry. Worse yet, is the fear that Chanthy won’t be able to go to school. - From my work for Save the Children's program in Cambodia. You can support Project Chanthy here - https://goo.gl/9q20F2

Channa’s father Srun Bunthoun owns and runs a small boat that takes passengers between the island and the mainland.  Her mother works to supplement the meagre family by cleaning octopus for the neighbouring fishermen.  These days Channa’s father can anchor his boat right outside their small two room house. But it wasn’t always like this. A few years ago the beach used to be more than 20 metres away from the old fishing village.  That's due to the slow onset of climate change, playing havoc with the way he makes a living. One day climate change will sink his home.  For my work for Save the Children.
