Description
and Evaluation |
Edufores
is an integral educational program. The website is a window to the
forest’s world. It has many materials on this topic with valuable
information about the main role that forest plays in our society: economically,
socially and, of course, ecologically. Through several different multimedia
resources you will learn about forest’s flora and fauna, products
we can obtain from it, etc. Therefore, if we know how important forest
is and value it properly we will defend it better. |
