We are currently in the midst of both a biodiversity crisis and a climate crisis, with the 2022 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report stating we must act ‘now or never’. But, can one crisis be solved without the other, or are both interlinked? Your students will decide. Born Free’s Great Debate provides teachers with the tools to engage their students in meaningful debates about key wildlife or environmental topics. Through this topic, students will have the opportunity to delve deeper into the issue of climate change, and decide whether we need to harness the power of nature in order to reduce, or even adapt, to its impact. Students will not only gain knowledge about the this topic, but also skills that will help them to research, frame and deliver an argument. Armed with these skills, young people are more equipped to take action to reduce their impact on the environment, and to encourage others to follow. Lesson one – Causes & Impacts Recap the causes and impacts of climate change, and examine the significance of 1.5°C. Lesson two – Climate Change & Wildlife Discover how wildlife helps us to mitigate against the impacts of climate change. Lesson three – Research Research and frame opposing sides of the debate. Lesson four – The Great Debate Participate, listen and learn through a formal debate. Lesson five – Action Planning Identify calls to action and create a campaign to bring about local change.

Wildlife and Farming: What does the future look like for cattle farming? Demand for beef and dairy products continues to rise around the world. Yet with 39% of Earth’s habitable land already used for livestock farming, and some farming methods causing damage to habitats, water courses and the climate, can we continue to farm cattle in the same way, or do we need to reduce our consumption? Born Free’s Great Debate aims to provide teachers with the tools to engage their students in meaningful debates about key wildlife or environmental topics. Students will not only gain knowledge about the debate topic, but also skills that will help them to research, frame and deliver an argument. Armed with these skills, young people are more equipped to take action such as reducing their impact on biodiversity and the environment, by making simple lifestyle changes, and encouraging others to follow. Lesson one – Land Conversion & Deforestation Animal agriculture has changed over time, but what impact does this have on wild habitats? Lesson two – Pollution & Climate Change Identify some of the environmental costs of intensive cattle farming. Lesson three – Biodiversity Loss Understand the effect that intensive cattle farms can have on biodiversity and that different farming techniques can have different impacts. Lesson four – Holding the Debate Participate, listen and learn through a formal debate. Lesson five – Action Planning Identify calls to action for a campaign and make a plan to bring about local change.

Une courte unité de travail destinée aux élèves du primaire, ou aux élèves plus âgés apprenant le français langue étrangère, sur des animaux sauvages se produisant dans des cirques. Chaque leçon doit durer une heure, bien qu’il existe de nombreuses possibilités de raccourcir ou d’allonger les activités. Ce sujet a de nombreux liens transversaux, avec des liens étroits avec les programmes britanniques de science, de géographie, de SMSC et de citoyenneté. Leçon 1. Adaptations animales Décrire comment différents organismes sont adaptés à leur environnement Expliquer pourquoi les organismes réussissent le mieux dans leur propre environnement naturel Leçon 2. Une journée dans la vie d’un tigre Pour comparer la vie d’un tigre dans la nature avec celle d’un cirque Rédiger une entrée de journal intitulée «Une journée dans la vie d’un tigre». Leçon 3. Faut-il interdire tous les animaux sauvages des cirques? Comprendre les arguments pour et contre l’interdiction des animaux sauvages dans les cirques Se forger une opinion Ecrire une lettre convaincante. Le contexte: Dans le monde entier, des milliers d’animaux sauvages sont utilisés dans les cirques et forcés d’effectuer des tours humiliants et contre nature pour divertir le public. Le bien-être des animaux domestiques et sauvages est souvent gravement compromis dans un environnement de cirque. Born Free travaille à travers le Royaume-Uni et l’Europe pour mettre fin à l’utilisation d’animaux sauvages dans les cirques et soutient les partenaires de la campagne internationale dans leurs efforts. Dans la mesure du possible, Born Free sauve les animaux des conditions épouvantables des cirques. Au fil des ans, nous avons sauvé et accueilli plusieurs grands félins de cirques en France, en Bulgarie, en Italie et en Allemagne. Nous leur fournissons des soins à vie de haut niveau dans des sanctuaires. Cependant, ce sont les plus chanceux. Si vous trouvez ces ressources utiles, veuillez laisser un commentaire.
