A natural science teacher came up with a great idea to teach his students about wildlife populations and how we are doing our best to eliminate them by killing them with motor vehicles.

Turns out many of his students liked the project simply because it "freaked out" their parents.

It was so successful a web site now offers information on how to organize and run such a project.

I learned this by reading the book, Nature Wars The Incredible Story of How Wildlife Comebacks Turned Backyards into Battlegrounds.
