Illustrations by children and adolescents about the plants of Jajó, Trujillo state, Venezuela
Abstract
Illustrations were made by children and adolescents about the plants of Jajó, Trujillo state, Venezuela. The exhibition “Get to know the plants of Jajó” was used, with ten (10) botanical samples of common ornamental and medicinal species, crop weeds and other wild-growing species collected in the area. There were fourteen participants (5 females and 9 males) between 6-14 years of age. They were asked to draw their favorite plant and give it the common name. The most drawn plant species were Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (“Chinese hibiscus”) and Ricinus communis (“castor oil plant”), representing 60% with four illustrations each, and only 28.6% of the participants (9 to 13 years old) knew the common name of the drawn species. It is recommended to carry out educational activities that promote the community's approach to the knowledge of the flora of Jajó in order to promote the appreciation of local plant resources
