Learn about Biodiversity: Bio DaVersity Code Video

March 1st, 2007

Here is a fun educational video from the folks at Free Range Graphics to launch a discussion about biodiversity in your class. You may recognize the plot from the DaVinci Code. If you’d like to share the video with your class, you may want to download it since YouTube is blocked at most schools. Here are instructions on how to download educational YouTube videos.

A book I highly recommend is Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. The story line is a bit odd, a gorilla acting as a teacher, but the content and the vision are profound.

Before reading Ishmael I was wondering, “How can we be complacent about destroying our environment? This is maddness!” I now understand how that is possible. When I read the book it was like watching a huge jigsaw puzzle being assembled, and when the picture came into view it was life transforming. The book provides a clear alternative to destroying our environment and a new, expansive vision for humanity.
