Tuesday 24 This morning we have visited Monsanto forestal park, the first one opened in Europe. The visit began with an introduction given by a Professor, then there was a guided visit along the park where we could see the importance of planting some trees to preserve the biodiversity, to prevent the devastation caused by forest fires and floods and to save our planet. The students planted a tree at the end of the activity.
In the afternoon we attended a lecture given by a member of the Zero association which promotes actions to stop environmental degradation and unsustainable use of natural resources.
Thanks to these activities the students are more aware of the importance of protecting the environment if we want a greener planet.
