Environmental education with visitors
Thanks to the conservation work of these species, there are family groups, higher education groups, companies, etc. Who come to our facilities to coordinate activities such as cleaning campaigns to remove plastic waste. To do this, we use technical equipment such as operational personnel, equipment such as vehicles, and containers for collecting solid waste. This allows generating environmental awareness in each of the visiting groups. Mainly to avoid the generation of waste in an uncontrolled manner. Photo 5,6,7,8
Thanks to the positive impact that has been had, we have been able to give environmental education talks to schools, universities, private companies, family groups, etc. By improving the conditions of the facilities of our turtle nest collection center, these have allowed people to be more comfortable and can better capture the talks that are given, on the part of BOTH it is about impacting all those people who They need to raise awareness about the protection of natural resources.
