This 2006 paper is designed specifically for Grade 4-7 students, but is a good read for anyone. It highlights three animals that depend upon intact old-growth rainforests in BC: the marbled murrelet (an elusive seabird), the mountain caribou, and the spotted owl. You will learn interesting facts about the biology of these three animals, and will be encouraged to do further research on what you can do to help protect endangered species.
