Soodeh Educational Complex held an exhibition to show the importance of honey bees. Bees are at risk of extinction largely due to human activities. We can prevent this from happening by:
Banning dangereus pesticides
Prevent and reverse habitat loss
Prevent and reverse habitat los
Plant flowers and plants that bees pollinate
Buy local honey
DO not kill bee hives

School D4 Rep- Israel of Arica Chile Report of Principal Patricio Tavali and Gladys Hernandez Lifelink coordinator The students(44) carry out a study about a Sea bird with the support of their teachers and professional specialists who belong to the Ministry of the Environment of Arica. During this semester they have carried out several field trips to observe these birds and received chats about this bird. When students came back to school they gave a talk to their classmates and exhibit severals photos The Little bird is named “Gaviotin chico” (Sternula lorata), a species that is struggling not to become extinct.
Additionally it is the smallest tern (gaviotín) that can be observed in Chile, with a total length of only 22 to 24 centimeters. It weighs only 50 grams The head and neck are black, with a black mask, an orange beak In Chile its reproduction is between the months of August and January. It has been established that the low availability of food, the territorial occupation, the circulation of vehicles and people in the nesting areas, predation by birds and/or mammals, are the factors that have drastically influenced the population decrease of the specimen. The students received support from authorities of our Arica city Studentsfot to visit to the wetland with the network of bird watchers of Chile (ROC) Mr.Ronny Peredo, Miss Giannira Alvarez and Miss Liz Maldonado of Ministry of the Environment And people of Foundation Gaviotin Chico Miss Barbara Olmedo,Miss Marjorie Aaguirre and Miss Natalia Urrutia Director of NGO Terra Norte
Project: Birds in Extinction.

The Project is about taking care of an endangered bird called Picaflor of Arica(Eulidia yarrellii). The bird lives in Arica and is one of the more little sized birds in Chile. In addition to this project students will learn about the other 9 Picaflors which occur in Chile. It is important to learn how these birds live and where. In this order we can investigate how this bird can be protected. Students from First grade to eighth grade of Primary education are participating supported by Principals and a teams of teachers and specialist In addition, supported by the use of the Manual the NGO Life link, through the coordinator Life link as well as supported by the University of Arica (UTA), and Specialists from the Regional Government of the Environment, Ministry of Environment and Ministry of education of Chile.

️ Students of Al-Ghadir School celebrated the International Environment Day, which coincides with the 5th of June 2022, by emphasizing honoring various aspects of the protection of the environmental dimensions of their city by holding slogan placards.
️ At the gathering, students read a statement expressing their concerns about the growing, pervasive industrialization of the global economy and its future dangers to planet Earth.
️ The idea of creating awareness among the people about environmental protection, as a common heritage of all humanity in unison with students around the world in line with the efforts of Al-Ghadir students every year has a special manifestation that this year will be considered by various student working groups Had.
️ Al-Ghadir School, due to its official membership in international organizations such as Life-Link, once again announced its environmental concerns with the students in honor of this day and emphasized the importance of such events with its international activism.
The students researched and examined different methods of tackling the climate crises and bring green house gas emissions down to zero.
We invite people in our school to join the action plan: “Green ecofriendly transport” with us. We ride bicycles together, and take the metro together. In this way we promote the need for using more sustainable transport modi in our school and in our community.
Events we organised in Rezekne Polish State Gymnasium during semester September - December 2021 to encourage pupils to use less waste everyday.
Goal 1 - promoting vegetarian food
We made a poster to inform the students about the project. We also made a presentation to talk to the students about the benefits of vegetarian food for people and the environment.
To popularise vegetarian food even more, we organized a workshop for a small group of students. In the workshop, we learned to make three different healthy meat-free snacks. Our instructor was Egle Kõva, a nutrition specialist.
Vegetarian food was served in our school canteen once a week throughout November. For example we had lentil soup and vegetable stew.
At the end of November, we asked the students if they had noticed that they were recently served vegetarian food. Almost half of them either weren’t sure or didn’t notice at all. From this, we can conclude that switching to vegetarian food once a week isn’t that difficult.
Goal 2 - reducing the amount of food waste
First, we measured the amount of food waste in our canteen during one week from the 8th to the 12th of November. The results were written on a poster in our canteen every day, so everyone could see them. It’s interesting to see that on Wednesday, when vegetarian food was served, there was less food waste than on almost all of the other days.
We had a similar project in our school two years ago, where we also measured food waste during one week. Comparing this year’s results to the previous ones, we can see that the amount of food waste has reduced.
For the future, we have planned two more workshops: a consumption workshop for older students and a vegetarian food workshop for a smaller group of students. We are also planning to teach the recipes that we have learned to younger students so they can also make more healthy snacks at home.
It has been a joy to learn about vegetarian food and its benefits. We hope to continue making life in our school healthier.
Parksepa team
During the Covid-19 pandemic schools were closed and we had more free time, so we decided to start a collective work. By the help of our teachers and some experts we started to research about wild mammals of
Iran.
There are around 200 mammals in Iran! The fact is that If each of us know about the different kinds of plants and animals in our country, we can definitely protect them even better than we already do.
With this goal, we researched , studied many sources, consulted with the teachers and experts and finally it led to a 160 pages book with fantastic pictures and characteristics of animals!
In addition to photos, it is written in a very simple language which is easy for students to understand about the animals' habitats, their behavior and their food!
As some of the animals are in danger of extinction, it is urgent to act to save their lives!
It is interesting that we could write our feelings about each animal in the pages of this book which it makes our book different from other valuable books written by experts in this field!
To be honest, We would say that working on this project had a healing role on our health and mind during the dark days of the pandemic!
20 students from each fourth grade participate in the curricular activities of the School. The students wear a mask and keep distance between each other when doing sports to improve health and at the same time learn geometric figures and maintain good relationships with each other (Peace). The activity takes about 40 minutes twice per week using elastics (see photos)
