1.      What are you exited about learning in your tropical ecology class?

Been honest I don’t exited about this class but I think it is a helpful and important class we have to take. I think it is going to be a really nice class and it is what I hope as well. I am interesting on many different thinks about ecology such as: learn and practice different experiments about ecology, learn about the how the different species interact each other, learn more about our ecosystem and how does the ecosystems change. Learn more about plants and trees is something that I really want to know even though the plants of Oregon are not the same as the plants we can find in my country.

2.      What is one of the environmental issues in your community?

One of the environmental issue that we have been facing in my community is that people have remove the soil from the forest and currently the vegetation start to die because the lack of soil. There are approximately 15 families that have been doing that and it started to be a big problem because the vegetation is been killed. People have been doing that because they want to growth their own crops in their home and they need the soil to do that.

3.      What things have you learned to improve the environmental conditions of your community?

I think I have learn a lot and one of the classes that I really enjoyed, and I learn a lot from the class was soils because my cap project is about composting. On soils class I learned how to identify the soils and how the soil is important for the vegetation we have. Also I learned the different types of soil and how does are structured and which soil is the more productive for the plants.
