Join us in supporting our Frog Bus (Rana Chiva), a vibrant mobile classroom bringing environmental education and conservation initiatives to 15,000 rural Colombian children each year. This real-life Magic School Bus of environmental education brings endangered wildlife conservation programs to school children in communities throughout Colombia. Through play-based learning such as our "hop like a frog" game, youth are inspired to join our movement to conserve endangered wildlife & their habitats.
Rural communities around biodiversity hotspots lack access to wildlife conservation education, a critical need for the preservation of unique species. Rediscovery of the Critically Endangered Lynch's Colombian tree frog in Santander after 35 years highlights the urgency. The Rana Chiva aims to inspire communities to protect the last habitats for frogs and other species found nowhere else on Earth.
Our fun, play-based education cultivates a passion for wildlife conservation in children. This inspiration prompts them to champion sustainable practices in their families, engage in grassroots conservation, and consider careers in wildlife conservation. Promoting community conservation around critical biodiversity hotspots is crucial for protecting the last remaining habitats for endemic frogs and countless other species facing extinction.
The Rana Chiva's play-based education creates a lasting impact by nurturing a generation passionate about wildlife conservation. Children, inspired by our engaging methods, become advocates for sustainable practices, ensuring ongoing protection for endemic species. The ripple effect extends to families, communities, & the broader ecosystem, fostering a culture of conservation that safeguards biodiversity for future generations. Join us on the journey to build a sustainable & biodiverse Colombia!
