Biodiversity – Under Development

Project Learning Tree and the World Wildlife Fund joined forces to develop this module, which uses biodiversity as a window through which students investigate the environment. Students will be able to recognize that decisions about growth and development, about energy use and water quality, even health, all rest to some extent on perspectives about biodiversity.

As we seek pathways toward sustainability, biodiversity education becomes a powerful tool for understanding how human cultures and ecosystems interact and the kinds of choices we must confront to sustain them. Biodiversity education permits educators and students to step back from specific issues or species and examine broader concepts and larger connections - not just biological, but political, cultural, ethical, and economic as well.
