Kid's Nature Magazines – Issue 139 – Wild Islands

Cast off from the mainland… and explore some of the wildest places on Earth.

In this action-packed issue of Eco Kids Planet, children discover the extraordinary world of wild islands — pieces of land cut off from the rest of the world, shaped by volcanoes, ruled by animals and full of creatures that exist nowhere else on the planet.

From the coconut-stealing crabs of Christmas Island to the finger-tapping night ninjas of Madagascar, this issue explores how islands create some of nature's strangest, most spectacular wildlife — and what happens when we work to bring these fragile places back.

Inside this issue:

• Charlie Meets a Coconut Crab – the world's largest land crab, and a notorious thief
• The Islands That Came Back – real conservation success stories from across the globe, including a landmark February 2026 tortoise release
• Wild Island Weirdness – floating islands, phantom islands, alien islands and Socotra's dragon blood trees
• Marooned With the Eco Kids! – a survival game where every choice counts
• Stunning posters – Magnificent Frigatebird and Blue-Footed Booby
• Monthly project – Can your seed survive an ocean voyage
• Puzzles, crosswords, quiz and competitions

Packed with real science, wild creatures and jaw-dropping discoveries, this issue shows children that the most extraordinary places on Earth are often the ones hardest to reach.

Created for curious children aged 7–11, Eco Kids Planet blends storytelling, science and imagination to spark a lifelong love of the natural world. Every page invites young readers to think, explore and look a little closer.

No ads. No noise. Just pure discovery.
