SUMMARY
The region of Los Ríos, is the breeding and feeding habitat for many species of marine, terrestrial and freshwater aquaculture. Most of these species are unknown by most of society, probably because they have never been able to observe them. This ignorance promotes detachment and disinterest that exists in our natural and cultural heritage. Therefore, this project aims to encourage conduct of knowledge, understanding, conservation and protection of the natural environment of Los Ríos Region, through the development of discussion workshops on environmental education and the creation of educational materials such as booklets games, memorize, posters and stickers on the fauna of southern Chile. Along with this, will be an exhibition of wildlife in southern Chile belonging to the Institute of Zoology and the Faculty of Veterinary Science. They were also given a bag of gender with the aim to promote their use, explaining the problem of plastic bags in the ecosystem. All materials will be stamped and printed charismatic species in our region, in order to bring the student to the fauna, promoting three main concepts: knowledge, courage and Conservation. The material created and the talks will be aimed at students of basic education and general community of La Union, rheumatism and Los Lagos. It is expected that the teaching material is used on an ongoing basis during lessons by teachers in primary and secondary education. Similarly, it is expected change the use of plastic bags, bags by gender, in addition to decontaminate the environment, will help learn aspects of the biodiversity of our region, so close yet so distant at the same time.
