1) FIRES IN THE DELTA

You
What will happen next?

went on a trip to Entre Ríos last weekend and while you were travelling you saw
these murals and graffiti. You and your family started wondering what they were
about.

You were curious about them so you looked for information online. You found this video
which explains the reasons behind these images.

Your family however, didn’t quite catch some of the information in the video and had some
questions.
Why do people start fires in
the wetland?

What consequences do the


fires bring?

2) As you were crossing the bridge from Entre Ríos to Santa Fe, you saw a group of
people protesting against the fires. They handed you the following leaflet. Some parts
of it are blurry, so you fill it in with the corresponding subtitles.

A. If fires continue, humans will…


B. If no one puts out the fires, animals will…
C. If we don't extinguish the fires, they will greatly affect the flora
3) You were quite touched by the leaflet and its information. You want to pass it on to
other people so you wrote down all the consequences of the fires, but they are mixed
up. You decide to classify it into three columns.

loss of habitat - respiratory problems - destruction of vegetation -


impossibility to regrow - heart issues - damaged soil - extinction -
death by hunger - increased chances of strokes

HUMANS FAUNA FLORA

5) You were really moved by all the information related to the fires and its
consequences, so you contacted the people at VACHUG to offer some help. They
asked you to make an invitation to paint a mural in English. They are not sure how to
warn people about the future of the environment. You complete the invitation with the
ideas they give you or your own.
