Conservation Current Events
Wild Classroom’s Conservation Current Events series connects learners to real-world conservation news from WWF’s global network of scientists and storytellers. This supplemental learning opportunity helps students engage deeply with topics affecting our planet while building critical thinking and media literacy skills.
Step 1: Explore the curated and timely WWF news stories, reports, podcasts, and images/videos and then select the material you want to use with your students. New stories will be updated monthly.
Step 2: After selecting the media piece, choose the activity that best aligns with your learning objectives to help students apply their understanding of the conservation current event. Each grade-band-specific activity includes a teacher handout with instructions and NGSS alignment, as well as a student handout designed to promote critical thinking and analysis of key concepts.
