NationalWildlife Federa- tion is teaming up with the film Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole to extend the movie’s lessons and inspire kids and families to learn about wildlife and protect habitat. The film opens in 3D nation- wide on September 24, with NWF serving as the production’s official edu- cation partner. Acclaimed filmmaker
Zack Snyder, who makes his animation debut with Legend of the Guardians, was inspired to make the movie by the beloved Guardians of Ga’Hoole series of books by Kathryn Lasky.

Soren, a young owl that loves to hear his father’s epic stories about their ancestors. The youngster soon embarks on his own daring quest to find his heroes and save all of owlkind. “Legend of the Guardians beautifully por-
trays many different species of owls.We hope the film and the popularity of the books will inspire people of all ages to learn more about these amazing birds, and use the online resources we’ve created to get outside and discover nature,” says Carey Stanton, NWF senior director for education. NWF also is asking children and their
parents to help save “owlkind” and play an important role in wildlife conserva- tion with symbolic adoptions of the species featured in the film. These adop- tions help NWF in its efforts to protect and recover wildlife habitat, and to edu- cate people to appreciate nature right outside their doors. As part of the effort, families, young-
sters and classrooms can organize adoption fundraising parties using the games and crafts in the Legend of the Guardians activ- ity guide created by the Federation.
