In February’s ‘Wildlife Heroes and… Villains?’ issue, we asked you to create your own Earth Hero. Thank you to everyone who sent us their entries. We are so impressed by your thoughtful words and powerful images! We're so proud of our amazing young readers.

Congratulations to our four winners!

Eco Ape

“Eco Ape has big eyes for spotting rubbish and he has a grabber on his tail for picking up the rubbish. Eco Ape has big, magic boxing gloves that he can use to bash up the rubbish and it magically turns into compost. Eco Ape has big feet for running very fast. Eco Ape’s mission is to stop pollution and climate change throughout the world, one piece of rubbish at a time! Eco Ape’s mission will be complete when the whole world works together to look after the environment.”

Litter-Picking Panda

“This is a litter-picking panda, which has a special brain that is connected to her magnet, so she knows what she’s picking up. Her superpower is that she can fly miles from China to England. By doing this, she will make the planet and ocean healthier.”
