Below is an article that a group of colleagues and myself wrote for Frontiers for Young Minds. This is a scientific journal aimed at making cutting-edge science available to younger audiences, and it does so by inviting scientists to submit articles which are then reviewed by kids! They have two types of articles: New Discoveries & Core Concepts.
Here we chose to write a Core Concept article which focusses on the importance of genetic diversity in wild populations. Myself and fellow co-authors aimed to describe the field of Conservation Genetics in an easily digestible way, which included giving many examples and analogies! We wanted the young readers to walk away with an appreciation for genetic diversity, and why it is just as important to protect as species-level biodiversity. I was personally involved in creating the Florida panther example and Fig. 3, which I am pretty happy with!
Please share and let me know what you think!
