Education, both within and outside the Congo, is an integral component of BCI’s approach to conservation. BCI and our collaborators have developed a series of lesson plans and guidelines for teachers wishing to include a bonobo awareness curriculum in the classroom.
The classroom materials may be downloaded from the links below. The Lesson Plans document includes four lessons and a list of pertinent background resources. Lessons One and Four have accompanying presentations, which may be downloaded with or without teacher notes.
