Educational Videos

Bring the wonder of the natural world into the classroom with World Land Trust’s free video series
World Land Trust has created a vibrant collection of curriculum‑linked resources that invite young learners to explore rainforests and discover the Trust’s vital conservation work. Each film is crafted from real footage captured in WLT‑funded project areas, immersing students in the sights and sounds of some of the planet’s most threatened habitats. Narrated by children’s author and WLT Trustee Nicola Davies, these videos spark curiosity, deepen understanding and inspire a lifelong connection with the living world

Introduction from Nicola Davies

Nicola talks about this selection of short films for primary aged children. These free conservation videos for schools have two aims, both to show amazing wildlife around the world and also to meet National Curriculum requirements.

Habitats

Learn about animals in familiar and unfamiliar habitats, including the seashore, woodland and the ocean as well as rainforests. This short film highlights the many different habitats that World Land Trust helps to protect across the world.

Species

Different species vary enormously but each has a role to play in its habitat. Enjoy the amazing variety of life in World Land Trust supported reserves around the world, and learn how the behaviour of each species adds up to make a whole ecosystem complicated and resilient.

All living things

This video helps to explain food chains, identifying producers and consumers, predators and prey. It also covers the difference between carnivores, herbivores and omnivores.

Deforestation

How seriously does deforestation affect our planet? Find out why we need to protect forests and the species that live there from illegal logging and development.

Different types of forest

World Land Trust helps to protect many different types of forest across the world. Learn from this video how types of forest vary, where they can be found, and the types of animals you can spot there. Explore the links between geography and biology.

Rainforests

Much of World Land Trust’s conservation work takes place in rainforests. Find out about different kinds of rainforests, their key features, and the species found there. Look out for lots of interesting facts about rainforests and how they are similar and different to Britain’s forests.

Human impact

This video offers a chance to study different ways in which humans affect the environment. For a balanced view, it looks at the benefits of nature reserves and tree planting, as well as the problems caused by deforestation.
