Ecology: Crosswords on Protecting Our Planet

Melting glaciers and plastic in the ocean make the headlines, but ecology starts a lot closer, with the bin in your kitchen. Ecology crosswords cover ecosystem, biodiversity, carbon footprint, recycling and nature reserves, along with global problems like climate change and deforestation. Some clues are simple and aimed at school students in biology or geography, others ask about endangered species and the programmes that protect them. Adults who want to go a little deeper than a headline will find plenty to work with. Every word has to come from you, which helps it stay in memory. Answer checking and hints are built in.
