Deforestation - What Do Trees Mean to Me

Deforestation is a complex issue. In this activity, students gain an understanding of the many causes of deforestation and how humans impact their natural environment. Students then apply this knowledge to analyze how deforestation can impact the lives of people in rural areas of developing countries. In Part 1 of the activity, students take part in an introductory discussion about deforestation to brainstorm what they know. In Part 2, students work cooperatively in small groups using role playing scenarios to develop an understanding of how deforestation affects the lives of different people in rural communities in developing countries.

The real game of survivor

Beyond disaster relief

“Something that my classmates and I agreed was interesting was that CHF doesn’t just throw money or supplies at people in need, you also teach them how to become self-sufficient and not only that, but you give them a sense of pride and worth. Every single person on this planet, rich or poor, deserves that….Thank you for reminding all of us of that.”
