Synergy: Wildlife


Wildlife are undomesticated creatures that live separate from direct human interference. Global populations of wildlife are rapidly decreasing due to human activity such as habitat destruction.

Read the informational picture book series for youth, then learn more at the websites:

GO WILD! is a new series for young readers from National Geographic Kids. SEA TURTLES is the first book in this informational reading collection for ages 4 through 8. Each title has a similar format including a two-page spread and topics such as habitat, map, size, anatomy, relatives, food, and babies. Pages related to conservation issues are likely to inspire children to care for these creatures. A timeline and glossary are useful for curriculum connections. Fun facts and activities extend the experience. The parallel format of each book makes them particularly useful for small group activities.

Upcoming titles in the series include PANDAS, ELEPHANTS, and LEMURS.

LEAVE WILD ANIMALS IN THE WILD is a short online article providing wildlife tips for children.
