            <h2 style="margin-top: 50px;">Brief introduction</h2>
            <p style="text-align: justify;">The main activities of Recoleta are the breeding of goats, the mining industry and viticulture.&nbsp;</p>

            <h2 style="margin-top: 50px;">Problems, causes and effects</h2>
            <p style="text-align: justify;">Natural resources are severely threatened by an incipient desertification process. In fact, the&nbsp;region of Recoleta is heavily exploited. After the Spanish conquest and occupation, the&nbsp;population which swiftly settled the region, has always practiced subsistence activities. The&nbsp;depletion of meadows due to mining works and charcoal production, dry or pluvial agriculture,&nbsp;and the overgrazing of pastures have completely exhausted the soil.&nbsp;Generally speaking, the over-exploitation of land, abuses in the extraction of mineral resources&nbsp;associated with inappropriate methods and techniques of production &ndash; such as the cultivation&nbsp;of cereals on unsuitable ground -, are the causes of desertification in Chile. To this we must add&nbsp;a scarcity of rainfall and long periods of drought, which exacerbate the phenomenon.&nbsp;As a consequence, the population has no fodder for its animals and soils are eroded.</p>

            <h2 style="margin-top: 50px;">Solutions/Project description</h2>
            <p style="text-align: justify;">Faced with such an alarming environmental degradation, the Association Juventude par el&nbsp;Desarrollo y la Produccion (JUNDEP), ONG active in Chile, has decided to react by educating&nbsp;children: the most sensitive part of the population and those who will determine the future.&nbsp;The member of JUNDEP are convinced that the social, cultural, economic and environmental&nbsp;change must go through a change in behaviour and in individual&rsquo;s priorities.&nbsp;This is the reason why ONG has chosen primary school as the objective for its project for&nbsp;fighting desertification. his project for environmental education therefore consists of some activities such as the&nbsp;creation of a nursery and an arboretum, the construction of a well and the sale of the grown&nbsp;products.&nbsp;The preference was for local species and exotic species relevant to the agricultural economy of&nbsp;the region: the cypress, acacia, eucalyptus, willow, poplar, palm and carob. Among the fruit&nbsp;trees are instead: apricot, vine, fig and olive.</p>

            <h2 style="margin-top: 50px;">Conclusions</h2>
            <p style="text-align: justify;">It is essential that children should be given an ecological education and that they become aware&nbsp;of the importance of protecting their natural environment, understanding what they can&nbsp;practically do.</p>
