The Natural Inquirer was a really good idea to do and the facts were pretty awesome. it’s just the charts are a bit complicated. The activities and fun facts were great!
-
I think the information should have been a little more in-depth. This Inquirer was really fantastic and educational for the youths especially who want to become environmentalist etc. It was cool!!!
-
I think it was a good idea to prepare such a booklet and FAO is doing a really good job which will help persons around the world learn about the importance and benefits of the forests.
-
The scientists have very accurate calculations. The mathematical calculations are very fun. The calculations help you understand the articles even more. I think there should be more simple calculations.
-
I think that the article in the magazine was good, easy to understand and I loved the part about the climate change and greenhouses gases. I know anyone who read this magazine would benefit a lot.
-
The Natural Inquirer is an interesting book. It gives you a lot of information about the worlds’ forests. And it also gives you information about things you never knew about.
