Aims for my Environmental Action

• educate the public, no matter what age but targeting youth, about avian diversity in Ontario, the reasons for their precipitous declines that have been seen, and ways that they can help in a local and international manner
  
• create an emotional and empathetic connection between the learner and nature, specifically Ontario bird species
• introduce some of the science behind conservation work. This includes isotope analysis, nest monitoring, banding techniques and skin/mount making
  
• show that nature is extraordinarily interdependent, and that issues that occur in the forests of other countries (specifically Latin and South America) effect the species in Ontario
• most importantly, show the intrinsic value that these species have and instil a sense of stewardship in the learners that motivates them to actively protect avian species and all biodiversity
