The eight icon animals that DSWF supports are immediately engaging for young people of all ages. They are a helpful delivery tool to convey messages about biodiversity, conservation, data science and applied art to young people.
Our content focuses on the animals and habitats that DSWF support rather than every species. The aim is to raise their profile and give you a better understanding of their behavior and the local communities they coexist with.
We have collected a selection of activities that you can use with limited guidance, including some art, quizzes and films to watch. Most of the activities need limited equipment and can be completed within an hour.
Please contact us if you find other activities you would like us to include or to send us a picture of something you have done.
Please find information, activities and resources below:
