Students from the Ecology Brigade of Centro Educativo Salesianos Talca (CEST) in Chile, attended an educational talk led by professionals from CONAF, focused on forest fire prevention and environmental stewardship.
During the session, speakers Ricardo Ibáñez and Felipe Castro explained the main causes of forest fires, distinguishing between those of natural origin and those caused by human activity.
They also taught the students about the three elements that must be present simultaneously for a forest fire to start: fuel, oxygen, and heat.
The event featured Forestín, the mascot, portrayed by Aquiles Morales, who interacted with the students through fun activities and shared safety messages about caring for the environment and the importance of not playing with fire.
The event also brought together 16 parents, who actively participated by asking questions and learning about fire prevention measures. Attendees expressed their interest in applying this knowledge in their homes and surrounding areas, collaborating with the initiatives promoted by CEST to strengthen environmental stewardship.
The event was aimed at members of the Environmental Brigade, composed of elementary school students and led by teacher Claudia Kendal, whose goal is to strengthen environmental awareness and a sense of responsibility for caring for our shared home within CEST.
The activity provided students and families with an educational opportunity to learn about the conservation and protection of natural resources, reinforcing their commitment to respecting and caring for creation.
