The role of astronomy education in helping to preserve the environment Bushehr Teachers' Astronomical Society has changed the way they look at the Earth by holding several astronomy courses for teachers and students in different cities of Bushehr province, so that instead of having a limited view, they can have a long-term view on preserving the environment. These trainings are the formation of the largest environmental protection groups in different cities of Bushehr province, which has been able to make the most successful examples of environmental protection in Iran.The way it works is that after training teachers, they build environmental conservation teams in schools and teach students, and make students' families more sensitive to environmental protection.
