Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Jack Hanna's INTO THE WILD program is based around Jack traveling the world with his friends and family, taking the viewer to his favorite destinations and introducing them to new and amazing creatures each week. Throughout Jack's travels he raises awareness of different cultures, geography and spectacular animals and animal facts, while teaching children the importance of stewardship ofo our environment through his documented donations to conservation efforts worldwide. The episodic content will certainly further the educational, informational needs of children 13-16 years of age. INTO THE WILD's emphasis on the visual dovetails with the disposition towards visual learning that is evident in children of all ages, but particularly in the early teen years. The program topic is suitable for both the secondary classroom and general teen audience with content addressing several academic outcomes designated by both state and national life science standards. Shot from a number of photographic perspectives, the viewer is introduced to the biodiversity of the area, how animals are adapted to the environment and the changes humas have imposed on the environment as well as the positive impact of local conservation efforts in the region. While Jack Hanna introduces the habitat and the wildlife, regional guides are given the expert status and the viewer becomes engaged in the natural environment with the same enthusiasm as Jack's family. Combining data-oriented scientific information with concern for the conservation status of wildlife and the environment enforces the educational value and impact of the program.
