A group of Manx schoolchildren have taken it upon themselves to help save one of the world's most important ecosystems.
A visit to the Wildlife Park inspired pupils at Willaston Primary School to try and buy a section of Brazilian rainforest to protect it from deforestation.

Pupil William Bergquist says it was a runaway success:
