JEACs Series, Amelia Lionheart
I had a lovely chat this evening with Amelia Lionheart, author of the children’s JEACS series. We will be interviewing her in June for our Women Working in Nature and the Arts series. She has written a series of books involving the Patel characters, who travel to different places in the world and discover interesting animals.
JOIN THE JEACs J – Junior E – Environmentalists A – And C – Conservationists in their first exhilarating adventure! The Patels – Rohan, Anu, Gina and their cousin, Nimal – live on a wildlife conservation in North India. Travelling home by train for the summer holidays, the children not only acquire a new addition to their family – Hunter, the dog – but also meet Peter, a young detective, who grew up on the Patiyak Wildlife Conservation with them. Peter has been assigned to their Conservation to deal with the problem of peacocks being killed for their feathers – peacock feathers can be sold at exorbitant prices! Angry and upset, the youngsters assure Peter they will assist him, to the best of their ability, in saving the birds. While making plans to save the peacocks, the Patels decide to form a group called the “Junior Environmentalists and Conservationists” (the “JEACs”), and invite young people who want to protect animals and save the planet from further destruction to join up. Upon reaching home, the JEACs set off on their investigation to discover the crooks and bring them to justice.

JOIN THE JEACs J - Junior E - Environmentalists A - And C - Conservationists in their third thrilling adventure! This time the JEACs - Rohan, Amy, Nimal, Anu, Gina and Mich- from India and Canada are heading to Sri Lanka for their summer holidays and will be based at the Alighasa Wildlife Conservation. They learn, upon arrival in Sri Lanka, that the Conservation is in the process of expanding, and that some of the animals, especially the elephants - who tend to break out of the current section and destroy farmers' crops - will be relocated to the new area, which will have stronger barriers. Relocating elephants will be a novel experience for the JEACs and they look forward to it eagerly. However, when several incidents of sabotage occur at the Conservation, it becomes evident to the staff at Alighasa, as well as to the JEACs, that "somebody" is attempting to delay the relocation of the elephants. To make matters worse, elephants are being killed and their tusks stolen. The JEACs, assisted by Mahesika (a Sri Lankan girl), strive to uncover the plot and capture the crooks!
