Born Free Teaching Resources

The Born Free Foundation offers a wide range of free teaching resources designed to help educators explore wildlife conservation, animal welfare, and environmental issues in engaging and meaningful ways. These resources include full lesson plans, activity packs, videos, and cross-curricular materials suitable for both primary and secondary learners. Topics range from ecosystems and animal adaptations to ethical debates around captivity, wildlife trade, and conservation challenges, all grounded in real-world case studies and conservation work.

For educators, Born Free’s teaching resources are especially valuable because they are ready to use and aligned with curriculum outcomes, while still encouraging critical thinking and discussion. Many activities are designed to build skills such as debating, problem-solving, and persuasive communication, helping students engage deeply with complex environmental issues. By using these materials, teachers can inspire empathy for wildlife, foster a deeper understanding of conservation, and empower students to think about their role in protecting the natural world.
