Poachers, pollution and plundering machines beware! the green squad is on a mission to save the planet

CEBU, Philippines -  Being a teen just got a whole lot more exciting for three adventure-loving siblings! THE GREEN SQUAD  is a brand new Indiana Jones meets Scooby Doo animated adventure series that brings kids closer to wildlife and nature, teaching them important concepts like conservation of wildlife, flora and fauna, good practices on protecting endangered species and keeping the ecosystem in balance.  Based on the popular comic books Les Sauvenature and its character illustrations, passionate whiz kids, Claire, Julien and Thomas Salvage enlist the aid of a global blogging network to save the planet’s natural treasures. From the deepest jungles of Borneo to the remote cliffs of the Grand Canyon, THE GREEN SQUAD lives an action-packed life protecting endangered species and the homes they live in. THE GREEN SQUAD premieres daily at 7:00 p.m., starting Tuesday, February 5. Encores on weekdays at 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m and weekends at 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.

 If you are an adventure junkie like the Salvage kids, one hair-raising experience is definitely not enough! In THE GREEN SQUAD, each thirty-minute episode features not one, but two adventure stories. Wake up and smell the fresh forest foliage in the premiering episode, which sees the family in the virgin forests of exotic Brazil on what they thought would be a relaxing vacation. Alas, they are not alone – pesky poachers hoping to cash in on illegally-caught wildlife end up capturing not just the animals, but family members like their Uncle Mark! It is up to the kids to save him and the endangered wildlife, and things take a twist when help comes in the unexpected form of plants with hallucinogenic properties. The series continues as THE GREEN SQUAD and their trusty pet sidekick, Wifi, go all the way to the lush jungles of Indonesia, where they come face to face with rare pangolins as well as an illegal network of animal traffickers. Will they be able to escape unscathed?

 Their earth-saving adventures also take them to Australia, Kenya, China and other amazing locations where they find a new home for iguanas, solve a water crisis for a herd of thirsty zebras, discover alternatives to a pesticide problem, apart from facing dangerous poachers. Through a global blogging network and the help of allies in the most unexpected places, they tackle all kinds of environmental issues across the globe.
