Both tourists and local people throw their trash in the environment, which disintegrates and gets into the ecosystem, soil and stomachs of animals.<\/p>\n<p>The magazine teaches children about the garbage problem, and shows them in an engaging way how they can help to solve this issue. By this, the magazine empowers the children to really take steps to protect the langurs and their environment.<\/p>\n<p>Gaula the langur and the girl Prakriti are back as the main characters. They lead the children through the magazine with engaging games and comic stories, and make the children feel like a true nature ranger!<\/p>\n<p>Please feel free to take a peek below.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_5,3_5,1_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][dipl_masonry_gallery image_ids=&#8221;5967,5969,5971,5973,5975,5977,5979,5981,6019,6021&#8243; number_of_columns=&#8221;2&#8243; column_spacing=&#8221;8px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; link_option_url=&#8221;https:\/\/brendadegroot.com\/project\/achamba-magazine\/&#8221; link_option_url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; box_shadow_style_image=&#8221;preset1&#8243; box_shadow_blur_image=&#8221;10px&#8221;][\/dipl_masonry_gallery][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/brendadegroot.com\/project\/achamba-magazine\/&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;view full magazine&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||1px|||&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-ee033ed2-5511-4f53-b3f7-5d42689e0cbf%22:%91%22color%22%93}&#8221; color=&#8221;gcid-ee033ed2-5511-4f53-b3f7-5d42689e0cbf&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;3_5,2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Montserrat Bold||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#222222&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;28px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;1px|||||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;32px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;28px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;]<p class=\"vc_custom_heading\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Wild langurs in the front yard<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Merriweather Light||||||||&#8221;]<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">I hope you are inspired by the magazine, and if this page posed any questions or ideas, please feel free to get in touch! <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">As you made it all the way through here (thank you for your attention and interest!), I got some bonus material.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">During the time I made this magazine, I stayed at the apartment of the head researcher.
