Thinking of ways to help save tropical rainforests

This resource is part of Tropical Rainforests, a Geography unit designed for students in KS2, but can also be taught as a stand alone lesson. All resources are compatible with both Microsoft Office and Google Workspace.

The presentation starts by recapping the issue of deforestation and its detrimental impact on rainforests around the world. It then challenges students to think of practical ways we can all help protect tropical rainforests (e.g. buying sustainable products, using less paper).

Next, it introduces some of the charities working to save the world’s tropical rainforests including the Rainforest Trust and WWF. If your students wish to organise a fundraising event, there are lots of ideas and inspiration.

Activity:
Students create a ‘Save the Rainforests’ poster to advertise your fundraising event and/or raise awareness of ways we can all help protect tropical rainforests.
