Conservation Central is a habitat education program hosted by the Smithsonian National Zoological Park and intended for middle school students. Presented by a corporate sponsor (Fujifilm), the site explores the Asian temperate forest, home of the giant panda and black bear, through a variety of online activities. Visitors can design a panda habitat, conduct field research in a virtual forest, or accompany a friendly camoflauge-wearing field biologist as he walks through the forest, collecting data that will help conserve Panda habitat.

Another section of the site shows ways that students and their families are taking steps to protect habitats and the plants and animals that depend on them.
