ARKive

ARKive is a unique collection of thousands of wildlife videos, images and fact-files, with a special focus on the world's threatened species.

ARKive has brought together resources from all over the world into one place to help build environmental awareness. Anyone can use the website to access information and educational materials.

The website is very easy to navigate and there is a keyword search to help you find the information you require. You can also create your own archive in a scrapbook in preparation for your lesson or for pupils creating presentations for topic work.

It also includes new education materials that have been supported by the British Council's Darwin Now initiative - looking at the impact of Darwin's ideas on contemporary biology, medicine and society and exploring ideas at the heart of evolutionary theory in an unprejudiced and open way.

ARKive in Education is aimed at teachers and provides lesson ideas, plenty of support material and links to other sites. Also included are links for parents to increase their involvement in their child's education.
