Great! You've decided to Take the challenge and become a Junior Conservationist. We're glad you are here!

To earn the Official Wildlife Conservation Society Junior Certificate in Conservation, you need to accomplish three different activities. Print out this page to use as a reference as you work through the activities.

Before you start, ask an adult at home, your teacher or a mentor if they'll sponsor you. Your adult certificate sponsor should read the Grownups' Guidelines for each of the three activities. Each time you complete one of the three activities, your sponsor will review your accomplishments. When you've completed all three activities and your sponsor has approved each one, you'll be eligible for your certificate!

1. Read a book and write a report.
2. Visit the WCS Web site.
3. Take the Rainforest Pledge and choose three courses of action you will follow to conserve wildlife and wild places in tropical rainforest regions and in the area where you live.
