Teacher or professor: SciShow
Subject: Science
Content of the Lesson: Sometimes, a species has declined so dramatically that they require serious human intervention to ensure they don’t disappear forever. Here are six ways we’re using conservation and science to keep those species alive. #Science #STEM #Conservation Hosted by: Hank Green SciShow has a spinoff podcast! It's called SciShow Tangents.
