Kit on combating desertification ( English, French, Spanish, Arabic)


The UNESCO Program MAB (Man and Biosphere) fights against desertification, and this kit presents some suggestions to act in this field. There are 4 documents.

A cartoon: "The school where the magic tree grows", inspired by the story of the children of Recoleta (Chile), shows their struggle against desertification. Children are able to read this book by themselves.

Two other books are included in the kit. The Teacher's Guide, "Learn to combat desertification", comprises 20 units. Each unit, covering four pages, is illustrated with photographs and attractive graphics, and proposes classroom activities intended to raise awareness on environmental protection. "Combating desertification bears fruits" presents concrete projects managed by NGOs, such as irrigation in the oasis areas.

"A planisphere" shows the desertification situation in the world. The kit is principally targeted to teachers for the last classes of primary school education.
