WILDLIFE AT HOME Color—Sound Ohio Department of Natural Resources 14 V2 minutes Inquire Like people wild animals require food, shelter, and good clean water. Some like woodland; others prefer open farmland, a woodlot or a marsh. Fish seek a fast flowing stream, a river, or lake. Animals of minute size usually group together in the search for food and shelter. Larger animals require space. The story line emphasizes the fact that people can grow and build, provide and plan for themselves. Animals, lacking that ele- ment of reasoning power, are consequently highly dependent on the actions of people. Pollution is probably the greatest threat to the animal habitat and this film lists the pollution of water, the dumping of garbage, drainage of marshlands, and thoughtless use of chemical pesticides as the major problems. Photographed by one of the greatest living nature photographers, Karl Maslowski, this film underlines the need for planning and for consideration of the protection of wild animals by human beings whose reason must include common sense as well as compassion. audience: Junior high; senior high; adult WORLD AT YOUR FEET Color—Sound National Film Board of Canada 22 minutes Rental—Sale This is the story of soil and how it is formed. The film documents various types of soil and the effect upon plant and animal life; the reactions of these kinds of soil to wind and water; and man's ability to improve soil through soil nutrition. Some emphasis is placed on the ecological factor, in that the earth is home for many insects and holds an important place in the balance of plant and animal life. Time-lapse photography and careful production help make this film an excellent introduction to the important of the soil. By em- phasizing the dependence of human beings on the earth, it fulfills a need in any conservation curriculum. audience: Senior high; college; adult 16
