The Threatened Mallee Bird Education kit helps teachers engage students in learning about Threatened Mallee Bird Conservation and can be used in a variety of classroom settings.
Wildlife conservation is a significant part of environmental education, but there are limited resources for effectively bringing it into the classroom.
That’s why BirdLife Australia has put together a series of education kits, including the Threatened Mallee Bird Education Kit.
With this kit, students will learn about identifying mallee birds, threats to their survival, how we can work to conserve them and protect their environment.
Teachers and students can sign up to receive the free booklets and get started with these enjoyable, interactive and informative lesson plans.
