8 Conservation Videos to Spark a Discussion

Conservation education is not a one or two time discussion. I am finding that students need weekly discussions to understand that their efforts can make a difference. The little things matter like as we try to reduce our reliance on single use plastic...

• picking up trash
• saying "no thank you" to a straw
• bringing a reusable fork or other utensil
• using a reusable water bottle
• taking grocery bags to the store
• reusing plastic bags
• using reusable sandwich and snack baggies

Engaging stories to help your elementary and middle school students care about conservation and the stories of endangered animals. I am a San Diego Zoo volunteer. I am not at the park but educating students in my classroom about conservation. The Zoo and Safari Park strongly believe in education and have partnered with our school to spread the word. Students care but wonder how they can make a difference when the animals and their stories are far away. Every action helps to #EndExtinction.

Here are some videos to use to start the conversation:
