The Nature of Chile, including its flora and fauna, is important in our cultural development. Many species of plants and animals are part of our myths, they give names to places, they are part of our food and medicines, or they are sung in poems and songs, among other expressions of their contribution to our culture and well-being.

Despite their importance, many of these species are threatened with extinction by our own actions. Losing them represents a biological and cultural impoverishment, so protecting our flora and fauna is an ethical imperative. To protect them we must value their importance in our daily lives and, to value it, we have to know it. The book «Coloring the Nature of my Culture» is a contribution of the Kayueken Association to the knowledge of Chilean nature, intended to value and familiarize our children with some of the numerous species of Chilean flora and fauna that contribute to our culture .

We hope that by coloring these sheets we will help conserve and value our nature and thus collaborate to protect it.
