As with all good educational materials, Project WILD is concerned with providing information, as well as helping students to evaluate choices and to make responsible decisions. In short, Project WILD's mission is to help students learn how to think, not what to think about wildlife and the environment.

Project WILD curriculum materials adhere to those strict efforts for balance and objectivity, backed by sound educational practices and theory. It also represents the work of many within the fields of education and natural resource management from across the country.

The Project WILD K-12 Curriculum and Activity Guide, and the Project WILD Aquatic K-12 Curriculum and Activity Guide are updated regularly. We rely on input from educators, coordinators, and facilitators. If you have comments, please contact the Project WILD National Office.

A major revision process was completed in 2000 in response to the many changes that have affected goals of education reform. Both the conceptual framework and individual activities were revised to help meet national education standards and assessment criteria. The activities were organized into topic units reflecting major components of environmental literacy. Additionally, background information found in the activities was revised to provide current statistics and updated factual information and to highlight successful conservation efforts. Please visit "Revision 2000" for a description of the revision process and a description of the organization of the revised Project WILD Guides.

The materials are available to those who attend instructional workshops offered by certified leaders and supported by a network of sponsoring state, national, and international agencies.
