resources are exhausted, all not forever, we must learn to care for our surroundings. The 2011 has been declared International Year of Forests by the UN order to raise awareness about the importance of forests for life. Today's children are adults and the future of tomorrow, so from Educambiente we propose you some activities related to the International Year of Forests.

The trees ensure human survival . The animal and plant species that contain contribute in feeding the human being, and lots of medicinal plants are used to manufacture drugs.
Forests act as carbon sinks as buffer the effects of climate change , plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Another of its many functions is evapotranspiration, which ensures the water cycle and hence the life of , as this facilitates the growth and development of plants and living things. The disappearance of the trees lead to increased CO2 in the atmosphere, therefore higher temperatures, which give rise to the poles to melt and water levels increase, because there are areas of land destined to disappear, on the other hand, ever more pronounced droughts that will result in the extinction of species and ecosystems, such as finding our own species is in danger.

One of the greatest threats to the Earth is deforestation caused by population explosion, overexploitation of natural resources, agricultural land use and livestock, and fire. The reforestation (planting trees) and reforestation (replanting of deforested areas) are some solutions to address this situation.

main thing is awareness , build on this year for fun and educational activities with children , so they can understand the magnitude of this problem. On March 21 we celebrate Arbor Day , plant a tree is planted life, if you have not done, there's still time, since Educambiente we encourage you to do it is never too late .

The contact with nature is essential for children because they will discover what you told in class by themselves, have the ability to experiment and find new things, and be amazed at what you find. For this reason, we propose a outdoor excursion is an interesting alternative. Although any other contact with the environment will also benefit, such as: crafts, stories .

Before hiking informed about the different types of trees and plants that you will find, after chips produced some images of these trees and their main features . Devote a class to explain this knowledge when you go to the field you may recognize that children have explained them, and you can organize a small dividing into different groups which will discuss what trees are in front of the tracks that you will typed, the more species guesses wins the game. Ask

also identify the different animals that you meet and make a reflection on what they would mean for the disappearance of the trees, then tell them that relate to your own lives.

Another activity that we propose is to make a mark of logs, (mark means: Playback images in relief ) they will need a piece of paper recycling and a wax. Folio will have to support the tree and paint with wax in the folio, is like taking a mark, when the tour ends, remember this tree due to the mark.

This field visit to sure that children can find some fruit , and that is permitted to pick up some to make a dessert or eaten directly, depending on the result the next day in class.

end would be interesting to have the children write a brief editorial about what you liked most, surprised, and also a reflection on the role tree our own lives, when they are ready, tell them to read at loud and putting together everything learned.
