CONSERVATION EXPLORATION!

A Scavenger Hunt

INTRODUCTION

Embark on a virtual scavenger hunt that guides you throughout the New England Primate Conservancy website. With each guided step, you are led to a section of the website that contains information for solving a clue. Each correct clue brings you closer to deciphering a mystery quote by Dr. Jane Goodall, the world’s foremost expert on chimpanzees. This engaging and interactive remote learning activity introduces you to a variety of conservation and primate protection topics. It is a great way to initiate or extend discussions about conservation.
