I hope my website will save the lives of animals

The Cable and Wireless Childnet Academy recognises some of the best sites on the internet created by young people around the world.

Eight-year-old Lalit won an award for his site and went to Jamaica with other Childnet award winners to learn more about building great websites.

In his report Lalit tells us about his own winning website.

"My site is about animals that are extinct, animals that are currently under threat and animals that have been saved from extinction.

But the main focus is on animals that are in danger and the reasons for it. It discusses what we can do to stop them from becoming extinct like many others.

I would like people to know how many different kinds of animals are in danger at present.

And I also hope that my website will have an effect on people and they will stop killing animals.

More to do

The website took six months to set up. I used books and other websites to help me.

I would like to thank Childcraft and Kingfisher for the information they gave me.

But there is more I would like to do with the site.

I would like to add many more animals and also include information about the conservation projects that are going on in different parts of the world.

And where people can go if they want to adopt animals.

I would also like to add a guest book and quiz which I am hoping to improve.

Virtual communities

Childnet has helped me by giving me an award.

And I learnt about different issues throughout the Academy week in Jamaica.

We did different workshops like how to market our website online, digital movie making, leadership training and developing virtual communities.

It also gave me a chance to have a lovely time with many wonderful people in Jamaica. We had loads and loads of fun!

But the best part would be the digital movie making workshop and also making lots of friends."
