Team Planet!: Safeguard Living Heritage

How would you like to join Team Planet as they investigate some of the most incredible people and places in our world? You can hear spooky stories in forests in Europe, join in with a colourful festival in Central America or see some beautiful textiles in Asia!

These are all part of our living heritage - the skills and the knowledge about how to care for our world passed on from generation to generation. These are safeguarded by an organization called UNESCO. But our living heritage is under threat from evolving lifestyles, pollution, climate change, and natural disasters.

Come on an expedition around the world with us, Team Planet, as we find out more about some extraordinary people and skills! Then discover what we can all do to help safeguard them.

You can discover the Land-of-Legends in Sweden, Kwagh-Hir theatrical performances in Nigeria, the Festivity of Las Parrandas in Cuba, Beekeeping in Slovenia, Traditional weaving skills in Al Sadu, and traditional martial arts in Cambodia.

Created in partnership with UNESCO, this book follows 'Team Planet', a group of children who learn about world heritage sites around the world and why these areas need protecting. Supports the geography and history curriculums at KS2.

Follow Team Planet in other titles in the series as they: Protect Cities; Protect World Heritage; Protect Oceans; Protect Geoparks; Protect Biospheres.
