Lesson (Grades 3-5): Why Does Africa Need National Parks?

http://www.nationalgeographic.com/xpeditions/lessons/04/g35/africaparks.html

Africa's numerous national parks, game reserves, and other protected areas help safeguard the continent's famed wildlife from the effects of excessive or harmful human activities. Using the National Geographic magazine feature Africa MegaFlyover and other resources, in this National Geographic Xpeditions lesson students will learn about the African landscape and consider why national parks are important. They will imagine that they've been placed in charge of creating a new African national park, and then draw pictures and write paragraphs about this new park.
