Going Wild: Helping Nature Thrive in Cities

This Canadian resource focuses on how society can ‘rewild’ city centers to encourage cohabitation between humans and animals and reconnect with nature. Suitable as a guided reading text, starting point for research and inquiry, independent reading, or library choice, it encourages students in grades 4-6 to think creatively and critically about their impact on the environment and the loss of animal habitat as society has encroached on nature. The interesting, colourful pictures and illustrations draw students’ attention and add authenticity to the information, and the resource section provides external links both in print and online to help students and teachers investigate topics further.
