Thinking Global: Geography, Gorillas and Us (Year 5 - 10)
Student web conference
Humans have a huge influence on the world around us. Uncover some of the connections between humans and the animal world as we explore the plight of the Gorilla deep in Sub-Saharan Africa. You’ll discover the relationship between the choices we make and the impact on the environment, but also find out ways you can make a change for good.
