Overview
In this lesson, students discover that the giraffe population in Africa is facing constant threats to its survival, and that man poses the biggest threat of all. Not only is man clearing the giraffe habitat of trees to make room for a growing human population; man is also responsible for poaching giraffes for their pelt, meat, and tail. This lesson takes a problem-based learning approach to the threats faced by the giraffe population. Students use what they learn to decide which is more humane: to keep giraffes in their natural habitats, where they can maintain their quality of life, or to relocate them to wildlife preservations and zoos, where they can be watched and protected.
