Education:

  • Education is a key component of Conservation
  • Education can be at many different levels, although the most obvious will be to children in schools.
  • There are many organizations, such as the  World Wildlife Fund (WWF), who devote many of their resources towards education.
  • Education has a major role to play for visitors to conservation sites, especially those involved in ecotourism. E.g. game reserves.
  • Without education, there may be important conflicts between the needs of wildlife and those of humans. E.g beaches for nesting sea turtles and beaches for tourists.
     

Activities: Choose one of the following animals that tourists (ecotourism) go to see and produce an education leaflet for inclusion in a holiday brochure:
