Welcome

to the RSPCA's Science, ethics and animals resource. This resource is mainly for English and Welsh GCSE science students and those studying the Diploma in Environmental and Land-based Studies. However, everyone will be able to enjoy the experience, learn more about themselves and better understand the role of science and ethics in all our lives.

RSPCA: Value of Life
What do we mean by value?
Does it matter if we value one animal more highly than another?
How do you decide which animals you value most?
 
Which of these animals is classed as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) red list?

Sorry, that's not right!

The right answer is: Bengal tiger

Only the Bengal tiger is currently classed as endangered. The stag beetle is near threatened. The polar bear and common seahorse are vulnerable and the sea mink is already extinct.
