VOICED : Perros ayudan a reforestar bosques quemados

In the Maule region of Chile, dogs are aiding reforestation efforts by distributing seeds of native trees, grass, and flowers. The area was severely affected by fires that destroyed vast hectares and displaced wildlife. The dogs, covering extensive distances, are more effective than humans in this task. The goal is to restore the ecosystem by the next summer, allowing wildlife to return. Despite initial progress, full recovery is expected to take at least five years.

What innovative method is being used to help reforest the Maule region in Chile?

• Using helicopters to spread seeds

• Planting seeds manually by volunteers

• Employing dogs to disperse seeds

• Using drones to drop seeds

How much area did the fires in Chile burn, according to the video?

• Over 500,000 hectares

• Over 467,000 hectares

• Over 200,000 hectares

• Over 100,000 hectares

Why are dogs more effective than humans in the seed dispersal process?

• They can carry more seeds

• They are more accurate in planting

• They can cover more ground quickly

• They are cheaper to employ

What is the main challenge faced by the ecosystem after the fires?

• Lack of food for animals

• Lack of shelter

• Lack of water

• Lack of sunlight

How long is it expected to take for the ecosystem to recover to its pre-fire state?

• Ten years

• Five years

• Three years

• One year
