Global citizenship“Global Citizenship is about understanding
the need to tackle injustice and inequality, and having the desire and ability to work actively to do so. It is about valuing the Earth as precious and unique, and safeguarding the future for those coming after us. Global Citizenship is a way of thinking and behaving. It is an outlook on life, a belief that we can make a difference.” (Oxfam website)

Ils veulent sauver leur zoo(Les cles juniors website)
Le zoo de Vincennes, souffle ses 70 bougies toutes portes fermées. En effet, le personnel ne veut plus y travailler car il le trouve en trop mauvais état et donc dangereux.Le zoo de Vincennes, à Paris, a été fondé en 1934. Mondialement connu, il a attiré l’an dernier 750 000 visiteurs. Pourtant de nombreuses zones sont interdites au public : les rhinocéros ne reçoivent plus de visites depuis 2 ans, les lions et les tigres ont déménagé vers d’autres parcs et les ours vont bientôt les suivre. En effet, le zoo ne pouvait plus accueillir les visiteurs en toute sécurité. Les énormes faux rochers qui constituent son originalité s’effritent et menacent de s’écrouler. Les soigneurs et les gardiens ont alors jugé que la situation devenait trop dangereuse pour eux. C’est pour cette raison qu’ils ont décidé d’arrêter de travailler. Ils veulent également attirer l’attention des Français sur l’état du zoo. Ce dernier appartient au Muséum d’histoire naturelle qui affirme que plusieurs projets de travaux sont à l’étude.
