Perhaps this article would provide background information to teachers that also offers a good opportunity to let students consider the physical geography of wild and endangered places, and perhaps some of the pros and cons of human interest in “wild places”. Perhaps students could design brochures, ads, or cartoons that might help the public understand the concept of human impact on ecosystems (and on human systems). They might look at the nearest “city” as a travel destination, and then also consider what kinds of materials and supplies they’d need to travel safely into the unique environment they wish to see. Upper grades could consider the trade-offs and costs of personally traveling to the location, rather than a “virtual” visit via the recordings of scientists and research teams who are very careful about avoiding or reducing ecological damage.
