Francisco, whom local media compares with Greta Thunberg, has founded the environmental group Guardians for Life together with six friends. FOOTAGE AND SOUNDBITES OF FRANCISCO VERA MANZANARES:"When one connects with environmental reality, with the environment that surrounds him, one falls in love with it. Right now we are hearing the sound of the birds, which are beautiful. I am aware of this 'environment' since I was two years old. When you grow up, you live, develop and have a relationship with nature, one falls in love with it. When you love something if anything happens to it you will protect it, you will try to take care of it. And that was what happened to me. When nature is facing a climate crisis, with fires in Australia and the Amazon, one has to take part."
