| We're continually reviewing new sites and adding resources, and appreciate your comments and suggestions. Suggest a link here |
| These folks are dedicated to preserving the remaining five subspecies
of tigers. Their cool site is full of tiger information, pictures, news,
and interactive adventures. |
| The mission here is "to increase public awareness and acceptance
of the wolf in its natural habitat and its ecological role in the
environment." You'll find lots of information about wolves, a
chance to chat, membership information, links, and a section for kids. |
| In this fascinating site about marine turtles and their struggle for
survival, the authors relate in word and picture their diving adventures
off West Maui and the turtle friends they found there. The scope of the
page is much wider than that, however, and includes attempts to educate
the public about the tumor disease which threatens these turtles, an
extensive kids' section, information for researchers, and more. |
| This is a Web quest inviting you to divide your classroom into teams
and send them forth to research rainforest issues such as geography and
climate, indigenous peoples, plant and animal life, and global impact.
The site is well structured to help and offers Web references in all the
suggested categories. |
| US Environmental Policy is easily available to the public on this very
informative but mostly text-based site. Still, a great source for
research. |
| A searchable online database and a huge store of publicly available
information about wetlands, wastewater, etc., from the EPA. Maps are
also available as part of this useful resource. |
| Graphics intensive, but worth it--this site is full of information on
how to reduce waste and environmental pollution. Contains links to other
environmental and conservation sites as well. |
| The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is to conserve,
protect, and enhance fish and wildlife and their habitats for the
continuing benefit of the American people. |
| This site allows students to take a virtual tour of the Galapagos
islands, and discusses the history, scientific importance, and issues
facing the islands. Aimed at students K-12, but a great resource for
all. |
| A neat way to get the latest weather in your area and elsewhere in the
world. |
| Windstar is "Your first stop on the Internet for learning how to
attract wildlife to your property." Learn about Windstar Farm and
about projects you can do to make your property a wildlife habitat. |
| The website of The Nature Conservancy is a great place to find out
what's new in the area of nature conservation from the organization that
works to conserve natural habitats and species by purchasing the land
and waters they need to survive. A really nice feature of the site is
the full availability of The Nature Conservancy's monthly magazine. |
| "Your direct link to zoos & aquariums in cyberspace"
should be your first stop if you're zoo hopping on the Web. In addition
to their long lists of zoos and aquariums to visit, they offer mammal
links, bird links, conservation links, and more. And check out the "gnuest"
links for recent additions! |
ARKive is the world’s centralised library of films and photographs of the world's endangered species – freely accessible to all online for private research and internal educational purposes. Hailed as the digital Noah’s Ark, it has won numerous conservation education and communication awards since its launch by Sir David Attenborough in 2003.
The main ARKive website www.arkive.org is designed for a variety of users (11 years old and upwards). Its content consists of one of the largest collection of wildlife and environmental films and images that can be viewed for free, and is relevant to a wide range of science and geography subjects in primary or secondary schools and up to university standard (all can be downloaded free of charge).
· Planet ARKive www.planetarkive.org is for children aged 7-11, and designed to make life science learning and environmental education a widely enjoyable experience. It fits in especially well with learning about living things in their environment, the habitats and ecosystems of the world. Again it is free and fun to use.
