DofE Three Month Skills Section Course - Understanding Endangered Species and What We Can All Do To Help Them

It would be the greatest human tragedy if you and your future children were only ever to learn about some of the critically endangered wildlife through the internet and TV programmes – as they become extinct, in our lifetime.
As awareness grows there is a lot we can do. And in this three month course, you will discover information on a number of the most critically endangered species, the threats they are facing and what is being done to protect them.
Discover facts about the man made and natural threats facing these animals and why, as you find out more, you may be inspired to get involved in helping preserve them for all our futures.
At the end of the course, you will receive your U:Bee Completion Certificate and Assessor's Report, ready for you to complete your Skills Section.
This course is ideal for anyone with an interest wildlife, the environment and who may want to get involved in different conservation projects in the future.
