SHARING OUR SPACE
The future for people and wild animals
The fourth edition of Global express
As humans have increased in number and have taken over large areas of the
globe, so they have threatened the future of many animals and plants. In
Britain and other Northern European countries, development has already
wiped out much of our wildlife. We are currently putting our fish stocks at
risk and destroying many habitats for birds and other forms of fauna and
flora. Globally, population pressures are leading to many forest areas
being cleared to grow food or graze cattle.
The edition gives teachers:
- Background information National Parks and whether they are the answer.
- Information to counter myths about endangered animals.
- Pupil activities: "Who cares .. if animals become extinct?", "Elephants
and Cod" and "What Can Be Done?".
- Suggested activities to extend classroom work.
- A resource list.
