Description: This resource takes a look at species from seven terrestrial ecozones: Arctic, Atlantic Maritimes, Great Lakes, Grasslands, Rocky Mountains, Pacific Coastal, Boreal Forestsb7sand three marine ecozones: Pacific, Arctic and Atlantic. The overarching themes are sustainability and ecological footprint. Current environmental science and recycling information, lavish illustrations, Black Line Masters and an innovative teaching guide make the Handbook self-contained and easy to use.

CD: Orcas, bears, salmon, snakes, bison, frogs, songbirds, turtles, cedar trees and many other organisms at risk inhabit these songs, which are performed by Holly and the Dream Band, along with 2800 students from nine schools in Victoria and Vancouver. Orca Baby was written in response to the question: How do you explain extinction to a baby? Endangered Species points out that humans like to live in the same places as wildlifep5swhich is why so many of them are at risk. Salmon Circle celebrates the ancient cycle of life that has sustained ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest for millennia. Landfill Blues is a raunchy anthem to recycling, reducing, refusingp5sand to the worms and wasps that do the dirty work of biological d ecomposition. Recycling a beverage container is an action within the power of a child that helps endangered species.
Notes: Produced by Artist Response Team (ART) for Alberta Beverage Container Recycling.
