About Schools for a Living Planet

Schools for a Living Planet education program is designed to help Canadian teachers give their students the knowledge they need to make a difference in our planet's future. Each resource is linked to grade-appropriate curriculum, and the in-class activities use a variety of formats that work with many teaching and learning styles.

One of WWF-Canada's goals is to make young people aware of the conservation issues we face in our country and around the world. The result is an in-depth teaching tool based on content you can trust, made possible by the vision and kind support of Canon Canada.

Schools for a Living Planet builds knowledge by providing a different environmental resource for each grade. For a description of each resource click here.
