Team Collaboration

We chose this theme but it can say that this theme has chosen us, because is a theme with a high potential of development who provoked us to reveal a lot of latent capabilities.

Although these things are the subjects of numerous debates in entire world, the salvation of the forests it is a controversial project who gathered national and local authorities, teams of televisions posts, even simply people like us. The purpose of these united activities it is to try to stop and punish those who don’t know the real value of the green environment, if we can say this, those who destroy the forests. Maybe our team wishes couldn’t be accomplish at the end, but most important is to show to all our site visitors what kind of people we are, strong people who say the truth about important things of our days. Unfortunately, some recent polls show unexpected results, almost 50 percent from the inhabitants of a city prefer to stay in front of TV sets, rather to make various activities in and for nature.

Carrying on with our work, must to say that it was necessary to organize a five members team, which target was to collect many and various informations. Everyone of the team’s members had a specific task to do.

At first, we join us our forces at one of our mate home. We brought pictures for our project, we made drafts for this site and we’ve got serious work.

One of our first concern was that our site does not have inside of him any other items used by other sites and we think that we can manage this.

In conclusion this site is a part of the campaign against people, obstacles, that might occur on the survival of nature, campaign which is extended at the entire world level.

Team Diversity

In this project we wish to discuss about some categories of forests like: Amazon rain forest (which surface is huge, about 3,5 million sq km); coniferous forests and tropical forests (tropical wet forests, also known as tropical rain forests, are often associated only with the Amazon and central Africa, but in fact, these prolific forests can be found in an equatorial belt).

We can appreciate that the forests appear at the same time with our planet and this fact improves the life conditions of all mankind. The forest watch the dawns of the human beings, but now it depends on us. And we must accorded it the most importance that we can.

The development of the forests depends on some factors, like the physicals, biologicals, or chemicals; it’s suggestively this motto: when it rains, the forests cry.

So, from beginning, from home page, all these elements are completely illustrated by some images which push us to the limits of the mind’s eye.

Laura and Antonia arranged the pages on the site, chose a background and use it in our project. Another mate, Monica created pages who describe the site, the content of it. Oana and Valentina tried to translate all our work in English.

We have some pictures of various parts of the world because we traveled a lot, but most of them are taken from the west and center of our country. We also searched for suitable quotations appropriate for our theme and we chosed the most interesting. Even if we come from different schools, this highly debated topic at this moment approached us. So we tried to create a site that will "open" the mind and the eyes of those who do not realize that the disappearance of forests means disappearing man himself.
