WCC 2020 Res 062 - Activity Report

Acoording to WCC 2020 Res 062 Role of children and youth in nature conservation, At Amazónicos por la Amazonía - AMPA, we faithfully believe that environmental awareness and education are essential to raise awareness about the importance of conserving natural resources and protecting the environment for present and future generations.
In this sense, through our Communication, Culture and Gender Program, we promote environmental education strategies for children, adolescents and adults, in addition to managing spaces for community and citizen participation to foster a sense of pride and territorial belonging.
We developed and implemented the intercultural community environmental education strategy “Nuna y Pacha”, an environmental education proposal designed to share, from literature and play, with local communities about the importance of conservation through the involvement of children in an educational journey, where they learn about the richness of flora and fauna species from voluntary and communal conservation initiatives. This strategy was developed with the support of the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) and World Land Trust (WLT).
At the moment it has worked in the communities of Alto Mayo and Bajo Huallaga in the department of San Martin, Peru, and seeks to be replicated in all the department of San Martin. The vision is to involve children in an educational and interactive journey, where they can learn about the richness of species of flora and fauna, in an entertaining and participatory way.
