“Our pride, our Pu Mat” conservation events have been successfully implemented for students and teachers of 16 schools in Anh Son, Con Cuong, Tuong Duong districts.
The conservation event “Our pride, our Pu Mat” includes two main parts: learning about Pu Mat’s nature and the dangers that nature and wildlife are facing.
In the first part, students learned through exciting games such as “listing the names of animals in picture”, “the sound of the wild”. Some students shared “I am very proud to live in the Pu Mat buffer zone”, or “I admire that we has Sa Mu Dau, a tree that stands more than 70m tall, with over 15 people needed to hug its roots”, “I really like the game Sound of the wild, and Who is faster that help me synthesize knowledge and receive lovely gifts”.
In the second part, the students interacted with stories during patrols of Pu Mat forest protector. The journeys were filled with happiness for the students when they saw a family of otters playing and hugging ancient trees thousands of years old. However, nature and wildlife are threatened by humans. Thousands of large trees were cut down, animals were separated due to traps.
