The document is an educational resource developed by WWF South Africa to teach learners about climate impacts and environmental hazards. It uses a tapestry created by 43 artists from Hamburg, Eastern Cape, to illustrate the vulnerabilities of coastal communities. The four lessons cover topics including litter and pollution, biodiversity loss and poaching, food systems and fossil fuels, and the role of art in spreading climate awareness. The guide includes teacher tips, learner worksheets, and a series of short stories from local residents detailing their experiences with unseasonal weather, declining fish stocks, and climate anxiety.

This guide provides a step-by-step activity for children aged 6-10 to create a lion mask using recycled cardboard, tissue paper, and glue.

This guide provides a step-by-step tutorial for children to create animal masks using recycled cardboard and other craft materials. The activity is framed as a way to show love for wildlife and support efforts to protect the planet, noting a significant decline in global wildlife populations.

The document outlines a comprehensive framework for restoring riparian zones invaded by alien plants in South Africa, emphasizing a transition from simple alien control to holistic ecosystem restoration. It details a two-part process: macro-scale landscape assessment to prioritize clearing areas, and micro-scale polygon assessment to set ecological targets. The guide provides technical instructions on clearing methods, biomass management to prevent high-intensity fires, and active restoration techniques including seeding and planting. It also includes detailed protocols for plant propagation in nurseries and a list of recommended indigenous species for different riparian zones in the Fynbos Biome.

The document provides a step-by-step guide for children aged 6-12 to create a 'Rhino in its habitat' hat using recycled items like milk bottles and card. Alongside the craft instructions, it highlights that African rhinos are losing their grassland and savannah habitats due to human population growth and face a severe threat from poaching, noting that in South Africa, approximately 100 rhinos are killed monthly for their horns.
