Description
"Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries, home to more than 30% of the world's pandas which are classed as highly endangered, covers 924,500 ha with seven nature reserves and nine scenic parks in the Qionglai and Jiajin Mountains. The sanctuaries constitute the largest remaining contiguous habitat of the giant panda, a relict from the paleo-tropic forests of the Tertiary Era. It is also the species' most important site for captive breeding. The sanctuaries are home to other globally endangered animals such as the red panda, the snow leopard and clouded leopard. They are among the botanically richest sites of any region in the world outside the tropical rainforests, with between 5,000 and 6,000 species of flora in over 1,000 genera." UNESCO
Students will take about 45 minutes to complete the research and reflection questions in this guide.
Suggested teaching methods:
- Allow students to choose from World Heritage sites in China to research and reflect on in small groups. You can view my other guides in the bundle.
- Have students research and present on sites to peers, then fill out research questions based on their peers’ presentations.
- After presenting on the site, use reflection questions as “do now” questions.
- Use as a lesson plan for a substitute, as students will be able to use the guide independently.
- Use as homework following a different lesson on China or other UNESCO World Heritage Site research guide.
Desired Student Outcomes:
- Students will learn about the geographic region.
- Students will be able to explain the UNESCO World Heritage Site classification.
- Students will be able to articulate why this site is considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
