Lesson (Grades 9-12): Two Threats to African Wildlife

http://www.nationalgeographic.com/xpeditions/lessons/18/g912/africathreats.html

Two of the most serious threats to African wildlife today are habitat destruction and hunting/poaching. In this National Geographic Xpeditions lesson, students will investigate both of these issues and determine which problem should be addressed first or whether they must both be addressed simultaneously.

As a community teacher in Africa, I am looking for resources that are printable and can be used with the magazine only. It is impossible to use a computor with rural communities that we target in our conservation project. Otherwise a great resource and you have hit the nail on the head Julia. Look up www.itswild.org on the COMACO model to see what some people are doing about this problem in Zambia.
