Kavi the Habitat Hero
Kavi pulls on a pair of gloves and picks up a litter bag 🧤. "A habitat is a living thing's home — it gives animals the food, water and shelter they need," hoots Kavi. "But a habitat can be harmed — by litter, by trampling, by loose pets, or by pollution. The good news? Small, everyday actions protect it and even help it recover. Come and be a habitat hero with me!"

A peek inside
Kavi finds a plastic bag snagged on a reed in the pond. Should Kavi pull it out, or leave it there?
A plastic bag can trap a frog or fish, or be swallowed by a duck. Taking it out removes the danger, so it protects the animals that live in the pond.
Try this at home: Name two things that can harm a local habitat.
