MORE INFORMATION

"The Sacred Balance" is a best selling book, a hit tv series, and a multimedia website which together comprise Dr. Suzuki's definitive statement on science and the environment. The Sacred Balance contains a wealth of understandable and well grounded science directly relevant to the Canadian High School Curriculum.

On this website, teachers can purchase the complete four part Sacred Balance Television Series on DVD (including some additional exciting scenes that did not fit in the final cut). Note: Students and teachers will not require the DVDs to benefit from the Curriculum Packages. The DVDs should be considered an 'extra' for those who wish to provide a more complete experience.

We invite all Canadian High School Teachers to use The Sacred Balance Curriculum Package to impart ideas, engender discussion and help develop independent thinking.
