Bio-diversity *suitable for home teaching*

This video from Teachers TV looks at California, which is working hard to sustain the range of beautiful and unique animal life within its borders. San Diego Zoo is at the forefront of these efforts. The zoo has helped to revolutionised the way such centres work, transforming them from tourist attractions into organisations working to protect endangered species. It has also fostered the idea of keeping animals in open spaces, mimicking their natural habitats, rather than keeping them locked in small cages. The programme also tells of the zoo's collaboration with China to help protect the Giant Panda from extinction, and how the Californian Condor was brought back from the brink of extinction in the late 1980s.
