Kefalonia’s protected animal species

Kindergarten of Faraklata (Kefalonia)

Why did we choose to imply a LVE program?

• Our main purpose was the children to realize how our choices and lifestyle affect the survival of all earth species .

• So we organized a program aiming to be understood by children that their actions can influence the environment.

Children have the power to change the

world they live in!

The motivation

The children share their relevant experiences, chance encounters with the Caretta Caretta turtles on the beach of Argostoli and the De Bossett bridge with the rest of the group.

First acquaintance with the protected animal species 1. Understanding the term protected animal species 2. Focus on Caretta - Caretta 3. Locating Caretta - Caretta Turtle in Zakynthos and

Kefalonia
