A Habitat Children can play a vital role in helping to protect and save endangered species. A Habitat program allows children to sponsor a habitat, learning more about both that habitat and the wildlife that lives in it. The program will help kids understand the importance of conserving habitats as part of efforts to save endangered species. Featured first in this new series is the temperate forest, home of the giant panda.
Kids can become scientists, making field observations right in their own backyards.
Notes from the Field . Twice a year, kids receive a newsletter with updates about what National Zoo researchers are doing for the temperate forest habitat and the endangered animals that live there. Interactive games , puzzles, and activity sheets. These activities can be easily adapted for classroom use and provide teachers with interesting information to supplement units on animals and habitats. A Habitat decal .
