The Across the Continents project helps you to explore modern habitat change with your students, using a range of resources created with the UK National Curriculum in mind. Developed in partnership with local Cambridgeshire schools, Department of Zoology researchers and researchers undertaking fieldwork in South East Asia, these DIY resources delve into the importance of biodiversity and conservation of the natural world.
