Wildlife Education

Content you’ll find on this page uses the best assets and stories from real conservation projects around the world. They also include lots of information about our eight core species and the habitats they live in. They are subject to a creative commons license which means you are free to use them in any non-commercial application.

Book a Free Wildlife Workshop or Talk

Our free school talks and workshops help children explore real-world conservation stories, meet wildlife protectors from Africa and Asia, and build the skills they need to become confident advocates for nature. Aligned with the UK curriculum and packed with inspiring content, these sessions are available in-person or online — and are completely free of charge.

 

Bring wildlife conservation to your classroom, library, or home setting — tailored to suit your group and schedule.
