WILDLIFE SUCCESS STORIES
The Wildlife Success Stories module is a very interactive, student friendly module that teaches youth the importance of endangered species. The concept of endangered species is sometimes hard for children to understand. The module presented information about four endangered species the red-cockaded woodpecker, the black bear, the bald eagle and the paddlefishand explained what measures are being taken to protect them. Species which once were endangered and that have been helped through wildlife management were featured as wildlife success stories. These were the white-tailed deer, the wood duck, the alligator and the wild turkey.
Components of the entire program include:
- a free standing 8 foot by 10 foot display (pictured at the bottom of the page)
- a mounted paddlefish
- a rocket net
- a red-cockaded woodpecker nesting cavity insert
- large photographs of featured species, with explanatory text
- Four Macintosh computers with the interactive program installed
- lesson plans
- a video about the conversation and management of wildlife
