Community Conservation: Engaging Locally
WCS is engaged in conservation efforts in 60 countries around the globe with goals to increase biodiversity and save wildlife and wild places. Come with us as we explore the Madidi National Park in Bolivia and learn about how WCS staff is engaging local people in saving the extraordinary biodiversity of Bolivia's wildlife and wild places. How can you connect your students to something happening so far away from New York City? Learn how you can engage your students locally by connecting to science, art, and social studies in your curriculum. This CTLE workshop will be online and have both synchronous and asynchronous activities throughout the day.
