@f1rstglobal: “Being a problem solver, not just a tree planter.” In the next installment of our student wildfire investigation series, 🇰🇪 Team Kenya visits Kereita Forest to learn why restoring a forest requires more than putting seedlings in the ground. It requires patience, local knowledge, and an understanding of the ecosystem you are trying to rebuild. 🌱🌲 Restoring indigenous trees can help landscapes become more resilient, reduce the spread of fire, and support recovery after fire. But the lesson for these students goes even deeper: before trying to solve a problem, you first have to understand its root causes. Thanks to the @bezosearthfund, one team of students from each continent was tasked with investigating the causes and impacts of wildfires, as well as the solutions communities around the world are using to prevent, mitigate, and recover from them. This global investigation is bringing together perspectives from young people, researchers, and experts across six continents to explore one of our planet’s most urgent environmental challenges. #IgnitingInnovation #FGC2026Incheon #Wildfires #STEMEducation About us: 🌎 FIRST Global is leading an international sports revolution to ensure all of Earth’s 2 billion youth have the passion, opportunities, and skill sets to change the world. 🤝 Through the sport of robotics, FIRST Global unites teenage athletes from 190+ countries to be visionary global citizens who collectively tackle the world’s greatest challenges. 🇰🇷 Join us for 2026 in Incheon, Republic of Korea around the theme of wildfires. ❤️ Follow and be part of our movement to innovate a better future through STEM education.
