On Saturday, February 2 2017 the Indonesian Green Action Forum undertook the Carbon Farming School at SD N Bojong. The objective of the school was to educate students about the importance of environmental education and actions for climate change solution. The school engaged more than 160 students with following activities, which  are education on climate change, biopori, and trees conservation climate change eco-creativities and games green gym biopori education and practices and seedling distribution for agroforestry actions.

In this activity there were three students? classes, consisting of 4th, 5th, and 6th grade. As we know, agroforest is closely correlated with agroforestry. As a brief explanation, agroforestry is the integration of trees and shrubs into crop and animal farming systems to create environmental, economic, and social benefits. For management practice to be called agroforestry, it typically must satisfy the four is: intentional, intensive, integrated, and interactive. The detail of the explanation can be found at this link: www.usda.gov/wsp/portal/usdahome?navid=agroforestry.

We also educated the students about climate change, As a brief explanation, climate change is a big concern of the chage of climate and weather with certain characteristics, such as: shifting weather pattern, rising sea levels, warming atmosphere, etc. As the UN Secretary General has said: ?it is the major, overriding environmental issue of our time, and the single greatest challenge facing environmental regulators. The detail of the explanation can be found at this link: www.unep.org/climatechange/introdution.aspx.

Furthermore, biopori was also introduced to the students in which the technology was simply introduced by Bogor Agricultural University to help fertilize agricultural soils by decomposing lignocellulose biomass in ground holes. The technology was implemented more than 10 years ago and it is still well-used in Indonesia.

In this education, we educate the students about the importance of forests and agriculture for sequestrating carbon and producing oxygen. In addition, we made an competitive challenges with students to make biopories. For the detail, please find the regard at this link: https://www.facebook.com/IndonesianGreenActionForum/
