Rio is OBSESSED with all things outdoors. She doesn’t leave the house without her creature holder and her magnifying glass.
Thank you for generously supporting Rio in this year’s competition. Your participation helps empower the National Wildlife Federation in their mission to protect wildlife, restore habitats, and inspire the next generation of conservationists.

Rio loves how nature is all around us ALL of the time. She loves to ask questions EVERY DAY and that she can get the answers right in front of her and up close just by hanging out in nature. She loves most that she gets to be a part of nature no matter what!
Her favorite animal is a lizard. She loves anoles and chameleons specifically because they change colors. She also loves how their skin feels and that she can hang the lizards off of her ears to look like earrings.
Rio’s favorite outdoor activity is catching grasshoppers, lizards, frogs, butterflies, caterpillars and any other reptile, insect or amphibian she can find.
