For every young person growing up on Earth

“There is no
other home.”

Ecosphere helps school-going children understand planet conservation through films, practical learning, and local action — together with educators, families, and volunteers.

Start with the signal

One atmosphere.
A changing story.

The NOAA record makes an invisible change visible: the air around every classroom, home, and community is carrying more carbon dioxide.

NOAA atmospheric record

Carbon dioxide keeps climbing.

430.40 ppm

NOAA’s long-running atmospheric record shows a comparatively steady pre-industrial baseline and a sharp modern rise. Values are weighted calendar-year means, with a weighted 2026 year-to-date mean until the full year is published.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide, 1750 to 2026 on a 50-year scale The x-axis uses 50-year intervals through 2050 so the latest 2026 reading is plotted proportionally rather than at the edge. NOAA’s reconstruction is 278 parts per million in 1750. The annual record rises from 315.71 parts per million in 1958, passes 350 parts per million in 1988, and reaches 430.40 parts per million in 2026.

A reason to begin

“If children don’t grow up knowing about nature and appreciating it, they won’t understand it, and if they don’t understand it, they won’t protect it, and if they don’t protect it, who will?”

— Sir David Attenborough

What we’re here to do

Give every young person a reason to care — and a way to act.

Understanding turns concern into care. Care becomes action.

Ecosphere makes planet conservation clear, practical, and shared — through films, research, and local communities built for young people and the people beside them.

01

Learn through stories

Films make big environmental ideas clear, memorable, and useful in everyday life.

02

Read the evidence

Research connects global change to the places and systems young people know.

03

Act together

Communities and events turn learning into visible, local progress.

Learning becomes action

This is home.
Let’s learn to protect it.

Join the circle around young people who want to notice more, learn together, and make practical change close to home.
