Author Description

"Oceans of Life" is part of the World Wildlife Fund's (WWF) environmental education program called "Windows on the Wild", or WOW. The goal of WOW is to educate people of all ages about biodiversity and to stimulate critical thinking, discussion, and informed decision making on behalf of the environment. The program also promotes creative partnerships and interdisciplinary education at all levels. Taking advantage of WWF's expertise in addressing biodiversity issues, WOW incorporates current data from projects around the world and draws on the work of many science, development, education and conservation organizations; government agencies; businesses; and individuals who work closely with WWF to maintain and enhance the Earth's biodiversity. 379 pages.
