Resource:

The Chaparral Ecosystem

Provider:

Living on Earth

Summary:

Today's website offers terrific information on an ecosystem that doesn't get much attention - the Chaparral

Description:

The information is presented by "Living on Earth," a weekly environmental news program distributed by Public Radio International.

When you get to the site you'll see the title of the program, "Re-education At Camp Chaparral," along with a link you can click on to listen to the broadcast - and you can follow along by reading the transcript that is posted on the page. The transcript is enhanced with photographs of the chaparral. It provides a fascinating introduction to the chaparral ecosystem along with a link to further resources about it.

Once you've learned about the chaparral, explore the rest of the Living on Earth archives (dating from 1991 to 2008) to access programs on a wide variety of topics such as:

Climate Change
Renewable Energy
Biofuel
Polar Bears
Pesticides
Organic Fish Farming
Antarctica
Biomimicry
Rachel Carson
Wetlands
-and much, much more!

You can search for topics using the "Search" feature too. This is a terrific resource for enhancing one's knowledge of science and how it applies to the world we live in.
