Using Audubon Adventures classroom materials is a wonderful way to engage teachers and students, in classrooms, at Audubon Centers, or other youth group settings, in Audubon's mission.

Celebrate four species that have benefited from protection under the Endangered Species Act in Audubon Adventures' brand new edition, called Back From the Brink. Back From the Brink is a four-part series that focuses on different North American species: Bald Eagles, American Alligators, Grizzly Bears, and Gray Whales. The recovery of populations of these "all-American" species is a testament to our country's recognition that no organism lives-or dies-in isolation from those with which it shares the resources of our planet.
