25 extradorinary women who are dedicated to protecting the earth have been complied into this wonderful resource that highlight those that are fighting to protect our collective living space. I have enjoyed each book from them and this one is no exception.
I received a copy of the book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving an honest review of my own thoughts and opinions

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for an e-ARC for an exchange for an honest review.
I thought this was such a great Rebel Girls book. I always enjoy reading all of them. I like how they talk about all kinds of women and young girls who are helping to change the world. This one is about those who have a passion to help save the planet from climate change and to help the earth heal. To help save it from pollution and other ways it is harming the earth itself and the creatures and plants living in it.

utile et nécessaire, ce livre nous présente en allant droit au but mais avec assez de détails et d'informations 25 femmes formidables en rapports avec la lutte pour l'environnement. La diversité des femmes présentées est aussi très agréable.

I love this series!
We are transported through the stories of women scientists to different ecosystems and the animals living within them. We start with Amanda and Heather who are scuba diving studying seahorses that founded Project Seahorse with the aim to protect marine ecosystems. Then we follow Bella who managed to correspond with THE David Attenborough and ended up banning the use of animals in UK circuses. Next, we meet Bindi who was positively influenced by her nature-loving parents and wants to pass that love on in a detached from nature society.
Biruté's love for orangutans started by reading Curious George to finding herself reintroducing over 500 individuals back to the wild. Christina became an expert on hippos and got known for her dedication to a little hippo named Fiona. Corina and her love for birds inspired the Black birders initiative! Christina and her enamoured passion for capturing the beauty of the ocean with her camera, The ocean but sharks specifically due to their bad reputation additionally, inspired Eugenie to become an ichthyologist and break down some myths around the fear of sharks. Gillian with her view on nature is that there are so many stories to be told and narrated to the world. Then we have filmmaker Gunjan who would through high altitudes and jungles to capture the wildlife. We meet Hana who is determined to fight to preserve the nature of her country, Iraq despite all the difficulties she is facing. Of course, such a book could not exist without mentioning Jane and her work as a primatologist (working with apes and showing their connection to humans).
In the second half of the book, we meet Julie, a conservationist biologist and her love at first sight with a lemur when she was 13. You may know Kirsten Bell as a famous actress from Holywood but she is also one of the proponents of the 'Adopt, Don't shop' mantra. She absolutely is a dog person! Then we have Kristen and her love for bats whilst we learn that everything that shaped her career started as a Girl Scout project. So inspiring! Reptiles are not as loved as other cuter and fluffier species but that did not stop Laura from becoming a herpetologist and seeing their beauty reflected in her eyes. We then meet Leela, an expert in lions who tries to reintroduce this species that has become extinct in parts of the world such as Egypt where she is from. Another conservationist called Maria loves hard-scaled pangolins and other endangered species and speaks for them! We then continue with Olivia and her butterflies. She is a pollinator activist. How freaking cool is that of a job description???
In Nigeria, we meet Rachel, another conservationist, working mainly around the Niger Delta area. Saengduean is a person where basically animals go for retirement to live their last days on this Earth as well as animals that just need recovery from abuse, trauma and/or injury. Meet Sami a talented artist that brings beauty to any peculiar animal you may think of. Exhibit designer, Sue, recreates habits in zoos inspired by their homelands for the animals to feel more at home. Temple, an autistic woman, decided to take action and educate people about her condition as well as talk about how important it is to address farm animal welfare. Last but not least, we learn about Tolani, a veterinarian who has even founded an animal hospital to host both 2 and 4-legged creatures.
I cannot wait to teach my daughter about all these women through these books and inspire her to become one with nature. :) Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

This is another one in the series of rebel girls, this time environmentalists. Yes, Greta Thunberg is there, as well as Rachel Carson. And then there are others that you might not of heard of, but who are equally important to helping the environment.
Each of the 25 women featured here have a full page illustration, and a full page short bio, so you know what they did, and how they did it. Some are living, some are dead, but all are cool to read about, and important in their own right.
Great series.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

Not to add to the list of concerns we're facing on a daily basis, but paying attention to how we relate to and treat our world must be at the forefront of out thoughts. This is where this collection comes it to help a starting point in conversations with young people, and not only.
The women whose story we learn about in Rebel Girls Climate Warriors are listed alphabetically, which was a nice touch. There's isn't one field more important then the other, right? These women are inventors, climate activists, zoologists, biologists, entrepreneurs, journalists and filmmakers, and they all find a way to draw attention to how important caring for our world is. There are a lot of names I didn't know. To my shame, I only knew of Margaret Atwood and GretaThunberg, so it was a wonderful opportunity to learn of more climate warriors.
Each warrior gets a full page of information about their work told in easy to read and follow tone. Right under the text, their born date is written and the country they are from. On the right, there's an accompanying full page of their illustrated portrait and a quote by them. The name of the illiustrator is clearly visible on each page. Of course, the illustrator is a woman, which is just perfect. I like this format a lot, which is the same with other Rebel Girls books.
What makes this book even more special is that the women showcased in it are not just activists from long ago, but some are still active, and are of all ages. Some are teenagers, some are in their 40s, some in their 60s, but they all have something to say on the subject of climate change and activism. It's a book I am sure I can use in my class to spark conversations with the students.
I was preapproved by Net Galley and offered an e-book copy of this book for review. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own.

This is another amazing rebel girls book. My girls are 5 and 2 and we love to find books that show strong females and tells true stories. We are a homeschooling family and as part of our unit studies we have done studies on several of the women in this book. My girls were excited to learn more about these women and what they have done to help the world we live in. There are women from all of the world and women from all backgrounds featured in this book. The illustrations are amazing and the stories give my girls enough information for us to continue our research and learn more about them.

Thank you to Netgalley and Rebel Girls for the ARC of this!
Spectacular as always, I loved the illustrations and the stories were diverse and easy for my kids to follow and pay attention to. Speaking about one titular rebel girl : “she read a statistic that really bothered her: less than 1 percent of environmental professionals were people of color” I don’t know how much that has changed since a budding environmentalist read it, but I do know that this book definitely does not make that feel like the case. It was full of stories of Indigenous, Asian, Hispanic, and Black women all working towards saving the environment. I loved that I got to learn about new people (the only ones familiar to me were Wangari Maathai, Greta Thunberg, and Margaret Atwood). Recommend for anyone who’s been loving the rebel girls books and anyone who is interested in climate based activism.

Climate Actvists, Zoologists, Authors, Conservationists and more - Rebel Girls once again teach young girls that they can be anything, as long as they follow their passions!
The diversity of ages, nationalities, races and experiences makes Climate Warriors a solid edition to the Rebel Girls series.
This book tackles Climate Change in a way that will not scare off young readers, but instead give them the knowledge that they can become empowered leaders.
The interactive activities at the bag, such as sharing your story and 'draw your portrait' are fun engaging activities, along with nature inspired activities and small habit changes to make massive impacts - Truthfully, I feel this section has an equally as big an impact on young readers as the stories of empowered women, as it makes the reader feel involved, empowered and could possibly create habits which last life long!
The QR codes allowing further interaction, bringing certain women's stories into the digital space is always fun - and unlocks audio stories, too!
An all-round must have for young readers and schools; creating change and creating thought leaders.
Thank you, Rebel Girls & NetGalley for the Review E-copy of this book.
