“Nature preservation is our joint duty!”

A “Lesson of Forest” was held in Autonomous Non-commercial Educational Institution “International School of Kazan”; 60 students participated there. GibadullinNursilFoatovich – a forest guard, using visual aids told children about the forest, its role in nature and human life:

“Forest – is a powerful natural factor, affecting the most processes passing above the ground. It is the place of habitat for birds and animals. Forests provide with oxygen and keep the living on Earth. Forest – is a place of recreation, where we come in the hours of leisure. Wood materials may be replaced; living forest may never be replaced. According to UNESCO data forests are disappearing on the Earth at the rate of 29 hectares per minute. 1 hectare of forest takes in 10 tons of carbon dioxide in a season. Green plantings reduce noise level in cities by 20%. Forests “gravitate” water. In places with forests rain is falling, thereby irrigating grounds, bread and grass are growing for animal breeding. For comparison: In Sahara there are no forests, accordingly it is never raining there. By the way, the motto of International congress of foresters, held in India, was as follows: “Forest is water. Waterisharvest. Harvestiflife”.

In the course of the lesson the children got to know a lot about the forester profession and while playing reinforced rules of behavior in forests.
