Dear Robbie,
I'm writing to tell you what's been happening on Cortuga. Do you remember the wildfires all over the forests here last year ? Fortunately no people died,but it was a terrible disaster for the island. The weather was hot and the winds were blowing at high speeds and changing direction all the time,so the fires spread quickly and it was difficult to put them out. It was terrifying. The people showed great courage and somtimes even risked their lives. The fires did a lot of damage to the trees and wildlife. It was such a shame for our beautiful island.
Well,the good news is that we've been doing something about it and the situation has been improving! A big company wanted to buy the burnt land and build a hotel there,but the people of Cortuga said 'no'! Instead,children and teachers from the local schools have volunteered and we have all been planting new trees in the area that was burnt.
