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.
The year three and four youngsters raised the funds they needed by running a cafe, selling home-made cakes and drinks to their parents and other invited guests.
Pupil William Bergquist says it was a runaway success:
Friday sailings at risk
Forecast adverse weather to blame
Support available after sudden death of student
The school's head teacher has written to parents and guardians
Manx Care to reorganise cancelled board meeting
September meeting called off due to guidance issued ahead of election
Slight increase in number registered unemployed
324 Manx residents looking for work in August
