EcoHouse is a youth-led project powered by the Global Youth Biodiversity Network (GYBN) and the Major Group for Children and Youth (MGCY) that aims for spreading awareness about the Youth Manifesto and educating youth about how important their voice and action is in advocating for the environment and conservation efforts mainly in the Middle East and North Africa region.

We aspire to do this through this podcast by creating an inclusive community for not only nature enthusiasts but also individuals who seek positive change and aim to be part of it.
