Classroom Discussion Guides
Engage students with The Story of CONABIO
These discussion guides are intended to provide educators and their students with thought provoking questions around the topics of conservation and biodiversity – using the short film 'It's Good Business: The Story of CONABIO', as a foundation.
These questions are designed to engage students in meaningful conversation about the complex issues that our changing ecosystem raises – many of which José Sarukhán and others discuss in the film.
We encourage you to frame the challenges of loss of biodiversity as opportunities to improve on how we care for our natural world.
