OUIL601 - How the hell do I start my dissertation research?

So my question is "How can illustration inspire an interest in wildlife/nature conservation in primary school children?"

Areas of initial research:

-compile a list of wildlife/nature conservation websites and collect information from them
-look into the history of nature conservation
-look into local nature places and contact them for advice/research

My aim for practical side of stuff is to create an educational pack for primary school children age between 5-8 ish and take it into schools to test run with children and also take it to naturey places and ask them if they'd want it in their shops. I've emailed quite a few places already, including my old primary school, but I doubt I'll get a response any time soon with it being the summer hols.
