THE NATURAL WORLD_INDEPENDENT LEARNING_ENDANGERED SPECIES_READING AND LISTENING PRACTICE

LISTEN TO THE PODCASTS AND READ THE TRANSCRIPTS AS WELL, ESPECIALLY THE ONE CALLED "ENDANGERED SPECIES INTRODUCTION".

Why should I care about endangered species?

 Let’s look at why we should save endangered species.

• Studies have found that unchecked deforestation and species extinctions will directly impact human well-being.
• Even little-known species can provide surprising benefits for humans, such as drugs that combat cancer.
• The benefits of protecting species may not be immediately evident, but the countless ecosystem services many animals and ecosystems provide make wildlife conservation worth the time and money.
• Get a glimpse into the lives of these endangered species.

GROUP 4   RECYCLING

TO RAISE AWARENESS

knowledge or understanding of a subject, issue, or situation

There was a general lack of awareness about safety issues.

racism awareness

raise/increase awareness (of):

The campaign aims to raise awareness of the dangers of passive smoking.

increased/heightened awareness:

Increased environmental awareness has led to a greater demand for recycled paper.

Recycling is something you can do as an individual, but the more people you get on board the more effective your recycling efforts will be.
Here are some tips and ideas for raising recycling awareness in your community:

1. Organize a neighborhood clean-up day.  Look around and identify the areas with the greatest need, and assign individuals or groups to particular areas.
2. Get your message out by email or other eco-friendly means, such as flyers printed on recycled paper.
3. Set up a website or blog which people can refer to. You can post events and articles here and keep people updated.
4. Go into the public schools in your area and engage students with a presentation. Most schools are receptive to environmental causes. Maybe a field trip for students to tour the local recycling facility or clean up an area in the city could be arranged.
5. See about getting recycling bins set up in convenient places.
6. Volunteer at a nearby organization that has recycling projects. Invite others to volunteer as well.
7. Attend environmentally-themed events in your community, and make connections with other people.
8. Organize neighborhood trips to the recycling center.
9. Write your local newspaper about your concerns.
10. Attend your City Council meetings and present the need for recycling. Also present specific goals and ideas to the Council.
