Station 3: Ecological footprint/'Fair Share'

The group was given many talks about human impact on the environment and given many tangible examples of how ARocha is restoring the natural habitat to encourage the native wildlife to return.
The group was also given a talk about biodynamic farming and the prevention of overuse of the land.
