I think it could be part of most lessons. One of the lessons I remember the most was when we debated the badger cull, everyone had something to say and it really got everyone thinking. Thank you so much for writing this guest blog.

Though I did feel for his teacher but only a little. <br />I also found myself nodding in agreement with so much Matt has commented about particularly with the current curriculum in schools, disconnection with nature and also whether people recognise to the true value of nature. <br />As a kid I visited the Durrell zoo and was impressed their strong conservation message.
