You can read the interview with Sandrine Jacoulot, head of Rhone en Vert on  the Blog of ABONEOBIO.

 

Forest conservation is vital and crucial issue for our planet. Deforestation causes climate change serious and can cause drought in some areas. An image that stayed with me forever etched during a humanitarian mission that I had made in the Democratic Republic of Congo, , is the massive deforestation of this beautiful country. The causes of deforestation are many in this country that was and is still subject to endless wars and troubles:

– the slash and burn agriculture

– use firewood

– uncontrolled industrial logging

 

Rhone en Vert awaits all those beautiful drawings and take the opportunity to educate your children and explain the role and importance of the forest. And then a walk in the forest is nice in all seasons.

 

I invite you to read a note(in French) referring to the website of the International Year Forest by  Vertissimmo.
