San Juan de Pasto, Colombia May 4, 2024.
Considering our purpose of bee protection, this last quarter we made different strategic alliances with national environmental organizations to achieve cooperation agreements that help us to promote our cause in rural communities in the municipality of Pasto. The management for the achievement of these objectives was carried out with the National Natural Parks of Colombia, a public organization that is in charge of protecting the natural reserves of the government of the Republic of Colombia. Through a cooperation agreement, in July we will conduct presentations in the rural communities of the municipality of Pasto, with the aim of impacting more than 300 people with the message of bee protection.
It should also be noted that the processes of rescue, relocation and protection of bees continues steadily in the territory and this quarter we rescued 13 wild swarms in urban areas (more than 200,000 bees) and relocated them to rural areas. As we conduct these rescues we trained people living in the intervention zones and who have started working together with our organization.
We have also carried out four presentations on the protection of bees and the planet with the youth of the Ecoterra Foundation at the Ciudadela de Pasto Municipal Educational Institution, generating graphic pieces and videos to promote to the community the importance of caring for the environment.
With the money received from donations we have advanced the logistical movements of management, rescues, relocation of swarms, construction of hives and purchase of four beekeeping protection suits.
We so appreciate your continued support in furthering the protection and growth of bee populations.
