Abstract: Trees in Our World is a practical global education pack aimed at encouraging young people to explore trees and their associated habitats, wildlife, cultures, traditions, uses and problems on a global level. The pack is a resource specially designed by ECO-UNESCO for youth educators in both formal and informal settings e. g. schools, community groups or outdoor education centres. The pack is intended as a source of both information and interactive activities to raise young people's awareness about the characteristics, ecology, use of and threats to trees worldwide. Much of the information is interconnected, but each chapter of the pack may also function as a lesson in itself, complete with case studies and some practical activities.
