Thanks to your support, our Junior Rangers in Nicaragua have had a busy start to the year.
In the classroom more than 300 children in Nicaragua have attended educational presentations about birds, turtles and the ecology of their local watersheds, amongst other topics.
In the field they have made signs from recycled materials, which they have placed at the entrances to mangrove and watershed areas warning people agaist dumping and littering.
They have also participated in 3 beach-clean-ups and two turtle hatchling releases. Four youths conducted a project assisting with efforts to monitor threatened king vultures.
Altogether 335 children and youths have taken part in our conservation since the start of the year, with 17 ndividual activities attracting between 4 and 40 children and youths.
Meanwhile, our programs in El Salvador have reached 277 students in school. This year we have initiated activities at Lake Olomega have involved 15 students where the children are learning about the importance of wetlands and dry tropical forest to migratory birds.
Your continued support to the Junior Ranger projects enable Central America's children to grow up with a knowledge and awareness of their natural world and the value of protecting it.
