Laura Bertha Reyes S\u00e1nchez nos ha enviado esta interesant\u00edsima propuesta y como tal os la expongo: \u00a1Animaros!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Estimado Juan Jos\u00e9,<\/p>\n

Espero que mi mensaje te encuentre bien y que disfrutes mucho junto conmigo la GRAN noticia que en archivos adjuntos te hago llegar.<\/p>\n

Creo que es una gran oportunidad de participaci\u00f3n para quienes estamos interesados y comprometidos con\u00a0la educaci\u00f3n\u00a0interdisciplinar de las Ciencias del suelo para la preservaci\u00f3n del mismo\u00a0como el elemento indispensable a la existencia de la vida en el planeta<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Este es a la vez el lanzamiento del proyecto educativo\u00a0\u00abLa IUSS VA A LA ESCUELA\u00bb\u00a0<\/strong>a nivel mundial y con la IUSS y la Alianza Mundial por el Suelo de FAO trabajando JUNTOS por la sostenibilidad del recurso suelo como el bien com\u00fan que es.<\/p>\n

Mucho te agradecer\u00eda auxiliarme en su difusi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Con un muy cordial y atento saludo,<\/p>\n

Laura Bertha Reyes S\u00e1nchez<\/p>\n

Plands nurture a whole world of creatures in the soil, which, in return, feed and protect biodiversity below and above-ground. This diverse community of living organisms keeps the soil healthy and fertile. This vast world determines the main biogeochemical processes that make life possible on Earth. Soil biodiversity plays a vital role in sustaining human welfare, ensuring future agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability. But\u00a0soil biodiversity loss puts our soils and productive lands\u00a0at risk.<\/p>\n

In order to involve soil scientists, research institutions, soil science societies, academia, colleges and universities, designers, photographers, and creatives people from around the world in efforts to educate and raise awareness on soils among the future citizens of the world, the joint International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) – FAO\u2019s Global Soil Partnership (GSP) contest will be launched. This is also the objective of\u00a0the educational project<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cTHE IUSS GOES TO THE SCHOOL<\/strong>\u201d, which focuses on the idea of putting forward the soil and encouraging children\u2019s interest in it. The preparation of youth-friendly educational programmes and materials is a shared responsibility and a priority task for IUSS and FAO\u2019s GSP.<\/p>\n

In the framework of World Soil Day (WSD) 2020<\/strong>,\u00a0FAO, IUSS and GSP are therefore launching a\u00a0scientific<\/span><\/em>\u00a0booklet contest for children on Soil Biodiversity<\/span><\/em>\u00a0with the motto\u00a0\u00abKeep soil alive, protect soil biodiversity\u00bb.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0This joint activity will be promoted in a coordinated way on digital and social media platforms. The objectives of the contest are to: (1) Promote scientific knowledge and give visibility to the importance of soil biodiversity; (2) Raise awareness of the urgency of protecting soil biodiversity; (3) Stimulate educational activities, engagement and participation of young people and schools in soil science.<\/p>\n

PARTICIPATION RULES<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I. PARTICIPANTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

FAO, IUSS and GSP invite all those interested in soil and biodiversity – soil scientists, researchers, professors, teachers, classrooms, individual students, soil practitioners, designers, photographers or experts from any professional background – to submit their\u00a0freestyle booklet<\/strong>\u00a0proposal<\/strong>\u00a0based on the WSD 2020 motto: \u00abKeep soil alive, protect soil biodiversity<\/em>\u00ab.<\/p>\n

Each author and\/or group of authors can only submit one entry. The booklet must be the original work of the participant\/s and unpublished.<\/p>\n

All participants are encouraged to learn more about\u00a0World\u202fSoil\u202fDay<\/a>\u00a0and to consult the European Commission Joint Research Center\u2019s\u00a0Global Soil Biodiversity Atlas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. SUBJECT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Participants should develop short scientific texts, facts (with scientific references) and images\/designed illustrations\/hand drawings to illustrate scientific knowledge on soil biodiversity for a young audience. The aim is to educate and highlight the risks associated with soil biodiversity loss, under the WSD 2020 motto \u00abKeep soil alive, protect soil biodiversity<\/em>\u00ab.<\/p>\n

The ideas and proposals should represent the vital role that soil and biodiversity play in sustaining human welfare, ensuring future agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n

3. SUBMISSIONS AND REQUIREMENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

The booklet is intended for children between 6 and 11 years old. \u00a0The works will only be accepted in English and can be in color or black and white, and in free genre literary (i.e. scientific literature for children, storyboards, comic strips, poetry, activity booklets, pop-up booklets, foldables). All booklets must include the motto\u00a0\u00abKeep soil alive, protect soil biodiversity\u00bb<\/em>. The booklet of each finalists will be translated in all FAO languages and will include the co-organizers logo (IUSS, FAO, GSP, World Soil Day, International Decade of Soils (IDS) 2015 \u2013 2024, and \u201cTHE IUSS GOES TO THE SCHOOL\u201d with a short description of the joint initiative.<\/p>\n
