Help your students to understand the issues surrounding our relationship with nature and the possible impact this has on pandemics such as covid-19. This resource can either be used as an essay question or the basis for a persuasive letter. Born Free’s Executive President and Co-Founder, Will Travers OBE, recently highlighted that: “Covid-19 has cleared the sky of planes, the railways of trains, the roads of cars. It has shown that, if we must, we can change the way we live. Now is the time to invest in nature and in the planet – not for sentimental reasons but because it is in our self-interest to do so.”

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.
