Using Google Hangout to get Conservation in the Classroom

I spent the last hour chatting to students from classrooms across North America, and I’m still buzzing! I was invited by Joe Grabowski who runs Exploring By The Seat Of Your Pants.

All of their Google Hangouts are posted up to Youtube, so I thought I’d share mine, and encourage you to take a look at the rest! It’s free to join too, so if you’re a teacher, why not get your class involved too.

Exploring By The Seat Of Your Pants

Book James for a speaking event:

James is a highly acclaimed public speaker, delivering keynotes, lectures and debates to a wide range of audiences including students, the public, conservation practioners and scientists. Rather than further polarizing already divisive conservation topics, James aims to explain the complexity and nuance of conservation. What we choose to do over the next five decades, will profoundly influence the diversity of life on eath for the next 5 million years. It’s never been a more important, or more exciting time to be a conservationist.
