Protecting the Earth's Animals

This awesome edition of FACES Magazines allows your kids to have a whole new appreciation for amazing animals around the planet. They’ll get to know some endangered and exotic species and see what the world is doing to help protect them.

Orcas, otters, and oryxes are all in February’s FACES Magazine but for different reasons. Oryxes and orcas are facing dwindling numbers, while otters are crucial to protecting specific habitats. Animals are an essential part of keeping our biosphere balanced so when we run the risk of losing a species, its our job to protect them. Help your kids learn which animals are in danger, and what technology and research is going to help keep them safe. Articles, games, and stories help your kids tackle difficult concepts, while amazing photographs will keep ohhing and ahhing over animals they’ve probably never heard of.
