This resource contains an amazing set of 50 animal posters that can be used for a variety of purposes.
They would be a useful resource for Earth Day - as part of a display. One of the Earth Day Network's campaigns is 'Endangered Species'. This campaign is to stop poaching and habitat encroachment as many animals are in danger of extinction brought on by human activities around the world.
The photographs lend themselves to captions. Perhaps students could think of captions for the posters.
