Who are the Green Kids Club and what do we do?
Green Kids Club focuses on spreading the word about environmental issues relating to people and animals through storytelling. We do this by working with conservation groups such as Elephants Without Borders, Saving the Survivor, and Blood Lions as some examples, and writing children’s books related to environmental issues they are experiencing. After publishing a book with one of these conservation groups we donate part of our proceeds to their organization. We also promote the story and issue through social media and by classroom experiences (virtual or real). Often our books are also given to children around the world to educate them about animals and their environment (we do this through our non-profit arm – Love the Wild Foundation). We hope the work we do will make a difference in this world and its animals!

Environmental People: Highlighting Taylor Rabe
Taylor Rabe
We met Taylor Rabe in Yellowstone National Park last year. She was busy working diligently with the park's Wolf Management Program.
In the last year or two, I spent time in Yellowstone National Park and saw a beautiful young woman named Taylor Rabe working there. Sometimes, she would be in a car; other times, she would be helping to manage bear jams or talking with Rick McIntyre as he was out looking for wolves. I discovered she is one of the group members supporting the Wolf Management program in the park. In this capacity, Taylor has the opportunity to track wolves and learn what it takes to manage the wolf population. Taylor's job involves monitoring, managing, educating, and researching wolves and their packs.
I was interested in learning more about her work with the Wolf Management Program in Yellowstone National Park. In the YouTube video link below, Taylor tells us about the wolves of Yellowstone and some of her amazing experiences. The video is provided through the channel Halfpenny: A Gathering of Naturalists.
With our book, Matriarchs of Yellowstone, coming out, we thought you might find what she does interesting!

“The experience of seeing 399 in the wild will change a child’s life forever. Hopefully, this book will be a small entry into her world and make us all more considerate, tolerant and protective of bears and all of our earth’s special creatures.”
- Thomas D. Mangelsen, Grizzly 399
“Humanity has an abusive relationship with the environment and all other species, and much of this is due to a lack of appropriate education and awareness during our school years. The Green Kids Club and books, such as A Tail of Three Lions, play such a significant role in filling this gap. In addition, by supporting the book you are also supporting lion conservation in the wild and efforts that are aimed at securing the survival of Africa’s most iconic species.”
- Ian Michler, Blood Lions

Green Kids Club Supports
Non-Profit Organizations
For the last several years, Green Kids Club has been promoting educational materials and story lines with Elephants Without Borders (EWB). We have also co-written books with the Orang Utan Republik Foundation, Blood Lions, Cougar Fund, and Saving the Survivors. We believe these groups, and other organizations like them, are doing very important work on the front lines to save our wildlife for future generations. You can help make a difference too! When you purchase anything from our store, a portion of the proceeds goes directly to the wildlife organization of your choice.
Green Kids Club founder Sylvia M. Medina, also has created their own non-profit, Love the Wild Foundation. You can find out more by going to the website.
