Despite living next to the Amazon, children and young people in the Arc of Deforestation have little familiarity with the forest

Despite living very close to the Amazonian forest, young residents who live in the city of Alta Floresta and surrounding areas have little knowledge or contact with the forest and the wildlife it supports. The workshops "A day in the Forest" are designed to put young people in the region in direct contact with the Amazon jungle.

This workshop runs for one day, in a well preserved 50 hectare forest fragment in the urban region of Alta Floresta. During the day, students walk in the forest, observing the fauna and flora and conduct artistic and team building activities amongst others. Making the forest environment more familiar and fun.

Thus, through this process we seek to raise awareness, inform and arouse the interest of young people in the forests, so that this becomes an even more significant part of their life.
