An inspiring collection of conservation stories for middle grade!

How do we make sure every species on the planet has a chance to thrive?

In Conservation Success: Protecting Wild Spaces and Species with Hands-on Science Activities for Kids, young scientists ages 9-12 discover different conservation efforts around the world. Learn about the individuals, scientists, organizations, and countries involved in protecting species, habitats, and our planet! From returning lynx to the Colorado high country and recovering the population of California condors to turning poachers into wildlife protectors and transforming dumps and golf courses into thriving habitats, these conservation success stories offer hope and inspiration along with scientific explanations on why these efforts work.

There are many ways to approach conservation including restoration, rewilding, reintroduction, recovering species populations, reconnecting habitats, community-based conservation, ecotourism, protections and laws, and, above all, education. Guided by science, these collaborative efforts foster biodiversity and encourage ecosystems to become healthier, stronger, and more resilient. In Conservation Success, we investigate the people and the science guiding the initiatives and see how these efforts will inform future conservation and add to the scientific knowledge of our natural world. Plus, you might become empowered to take part in conservation efforts in your part of the world!

Conservation Success includes hands-on activities and critical thinking exercises to help readers gain a deeper understanding of science-based conservation. These activities, a narrative writing style, fun facts, words-to-know, and primary source links combine to take readers on an investigative journey to conservation projects around the world.

Additional materials include a glossary, a list of media for further learning, a selected bibliography, and index. All books are leveled for Guided Reading level and Lexile and align with Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards.

All titles are available in paperback, hardcover, and ebook formats.
