The first groups of students, about 220 children, were involved in the first phase of educational activities with the schools of the LIFE Carabus. The project was named Progetto B....come BIODIVERSITA'!
In these sessions was attended the 3rd, 4th and 5th elementary schools Ronco (Trivero) Ponzone (Trivero), Gates and Quaregna (classes 2nd, 4th and 5th).
For each class were carried out two lessons in the classroom (in the months April and May 2015) and a thematicexcursion of one-day (in May) in Valsessera about biodiversity issues, the Valsessera and the LIFE Carabus. The students have used the didactic classroom made with the project and have visited the beech woods, pastures and the teggia built by the project. Each participant received an explanatory leaflet and a pin of the LIFE Carabus.
LIFE has co-financed the project teaching, lunch, transport and the place where we hold our activities.
The second phase in which participate other school will be start in September.
Here you can download the explanatory leaflet.
Carabus olympiae, steno-endemic species of Val Sessera, lives in a very small area within forest habitats. In the last century the species was threatened with extinction by collectors, but thanks to the characteristics of the habitat in which they live, that can provide shelter and food, this insect was able to overcome the phases of the population regression.
