Help students understand the impact of human activities on wildlife populations and explore conservation strategies. Divide the students into five groups, each representing a region mentioned in the WWF Living Planet Report 2024 (Latin America & the Caribbean, Africa, Asia-Pacific, North America, and Europe/Central Asia).Each group researches the specific challenges and declines in wildlife populations in their region. They should also identify one conservation success story from anywhere in the world.Using string or yarn, create a large web on the floor of the classroom. Each group connects their region to the factors affecting wildlife (like habitat loss or pollution) and ties in their chosen success story, demonstrating how positive actions can impact conservation.Conclude with a discussion on how these regional issues affect global biodiversity and what actions students can take to help wildlife in their own communities.
