Seth gave a capacitation to the 3-6 grade kids in Son Zapote, a community we f
inished a water project in recently and have been doing capacitations. The area is highly deforested and the kids think every animal (birds, rabbits, lizards, geckos, spiders, insects, etc.) will hurt them, so they need to kill them. Knowing this we thought it would be a good idea to help them see how everything in nature is interrelated and if we kill off or get rid of one species it effects the entire ecosystem. Seth had them think about how their community looked 400 years ago and then draw it and then draw what it l
ooks like now. The differences where there were more trees, animals and water before and now more livestock animals, homes, wells, and less trees. Then Seth had the kids get into groups to make webs as a way to show how everything is interrelated. For the most part the kids where able to see how things related and understand that ecology is the relationship between living and non-living things.
