Teacher's Resources
Many schools have educational programs that emphasize the importance
of conserving and protecting the environment and the life that it supports. Most
schools have curriculum that showcase environmental and ecological issues. Youth
today are more aware of the environment than they have ever been. Many schools
have undertaken large conservation projects due to student interest. This education
section is intended to provide information for students on a wide variety of topics.
