Activities

1. Create a world map collage: Cut out pictures from magazines or draw images of different environments and places. Arrange them on a world map to show different perceptions of beauty and importance.

2. Role-play activity: Pretend to be different stakeholders (government, environmentalists, developers) and discuss how they would manage a particular place or environment. Use the markers to draw on the map to show their ideas.

3. Research project: Choose a famous place or environment and research how it is managed. Create a short presentation to share your findings.
