Our Planet Educator Guides

WWF's Living Planet Report 2018 revealed the scale of human impact on our precious natural world. The Our Planet series, now streaming on Netflix, shows the awesome splendor of the natural wonders that we risk losing, but also carries a message of hope: we can still save our planet if we act now.

Conservation in the Classroom

Bring conservation and science to life in your classroom by giving your students the opportunity to hear and interact with someone in the field. Through free 45-minute virtual events livestreamed on our website, students can hear WWF experts share stories of their experience working to protect species and habitats around the world.

Latest session: Erin Simon, WWF Director for Sustainability Research and Development, shared about her work with plastics in nature and took questions from students. Learn more.
