Icons are used to initially stimulate discussion about how forest loss might be prevented. Students then evaluate why selective logging practices are more sustainable than clear fell logging. A card sort activity teaches pupils about 8 different strategies used to reduce forest loss. Students then dive deeper into ecotourism, as a way for developing nations to make money from the forest sustainably. Video resources and source annotation are used here to improve pupil understanding. Pupils categorise the social, economic and environmental benefits of eco-tourism in a card sort activity, before finally exploring Yachana Eco-Lodge as a case study example.

If you like my work, please follow me for more resources and leave a review! This 3 hour lesson teaches pupils about the causes of deforestation in Malaysia and their respective impacts. Satellite imagery is used to highlight the extent of forest loss over the last 70 years. Students use information sheets to compile their notes detailing the reasons for forest loss. Pupils then use information cards to complete two mind maps highlighting the global and local impacts of deforestation. Individuals must then categorise these factors into social, economic and environmental. Workbook pintables are provided which follow the PowerPoint lesson.

Students learn why tropical forests are being removed, despite them being such a precious resource both locally and globally. In the first task pupils use dual coding to mind map and categorise the importance of the forest. Satellite images are used to highlight global forest loss hot spots. Students then improve their numerical skills by comparing forest loss of the Brazilian and Non-Brazilian Amazon. A writing frame is provided here to support weaker pupils. Source images are used to stimulate discussion, as to why forest is being removed. Pupils then undertake a guided reading exercise, before finally completing a card sort task.
