No âmbito do Projeto CILIFO – Centro Ibérico de Investigação e Combate aos Incêndios Florestais – está a realizar-se esta semana, nas escolas da região, uma campanha de sensibilização e prevenção de incêndios florestais. Pondo em evidência as causas e consequências de incêndios florestais, com artefactos recolhidos de incêndios reais, a campanha aponta para a adoção de comportamentos responsáveis e preventivos e de preservação das florestas e da natureza.
Num cenário de investigação de um incêndio florestal montado para o efeito, as crianças foram convidadas a ser investigadoras, descobrindo o início de um incêndio florestal e marcando-o com uma bandeirinha branca, a direção que o incêndio tomou, apontando com a bandeirinha vermelha, procurando as causas e os efeitos dos incêndios florestais.
A campanha esteve na EB do Rossio e na EB Manuel Ferreira Patrício em Évora e vai estar amanhã na EB de S. Mateus em Montemor-o-Novo.
Estas sessões continuarão em agosto no âmbito das atividades de tempos livres de verão e estarão de regresso no início do ano letivo 2021/2022.
Estas atividades foram desenvolvidas pela Universidade de Évora no âmbito CILIFO – projeto co-financiado pelo programa de cooperação transfronteiriça entre Espanha e Portugal (POCTEP) – e contam com o apoio da Câmara Municipal de Évora e da Câmara Municipal de Montemor-o-Novo.
