| - | I truly enjoy being outside, into nature, walk freely and look what surrounds me. Forests are especially amazing: there is always a bird, a tree, a flower to pay attention to, try to guess the species it belongs to, or just simply appreciate its inherent beauty. I often went on explorations in the woods around our camp. Wood picky was on of my favourite tasks! On day I found a place in which the environment looked different. There were less bushes, more flowers, and trees seemed to be darker than usually. This part of the forest burnt one year ago, but only an aware observer could notice it as everything was green and alive again. \\ | + | I truly enjoy being outside, into nature, walk freely and look what surrounds me.

| A few day later, we had a workshop about forestry management and fire prevention. The goal was to clear the forest in order to avoid fire to destroy the camp we were building. This region is really dry, tending to become a desert, and fire are common there. Because of the imbalance of the ecosystem and in particular the lack of big wild animals, trees are too numerous and too high. When a fire starts, it runs fast, causing severe damages and fatalities. \\ | A few day later, we had a workshop about forestry management and fire prevention.

| The idea was to fulfil the role of these missing animals in order to help restoring the ecosystem. These explanation totally convinced all of us that we were doing the right think, even if it implied cutting trees (which is sort of paradoxical). I had lots of fun chopping wood with an axe, as if I was belonging to some kind of ancient tribe taking care of mother nature! We were doing a pleasant and useful work, trying to prevent fire to spread. \\ | The idea was to fulfil the role of these missing animals in order to help restoring the ecosystem.
