From the annoying fly buzzing around in your room to the huge blue whale diving deep into the ocean, every living plant, animal and insect plays a massive role in making our world work. That’s why this week on NowThis Kids, host Naomi Wadler tells us why it’s so important to protect all of the creatures in the earth’s ecosystem.  We speak to Izzy Bee, who works with her veterinarian mom Ali, to care for displaced and injured koalas in Australia. They talk about their love for koalas, how we can all get involved in animal rescue, and how all of their work got them a show on Netflix.  Did you know that if an endangered species becomes extinct, it can affect the whole world? Correspondent Luria Freeman explains our ecosystem and how everything is connected.  Do you have a pet at home or a favourite animal?
