More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
Many schools in the Dsitrito Federal are located in poor peripheries where there is still native vegetation and wild animals. People that live there, many of them children and teenagers, have the habit of capturing wild animals to sell them in markets. This is why we have to promote an educational work with this students, to make them understand that taking animals from nature causes not only serious damage to the environment but can also bring them and their families dangerous diseases.
Activities
The project includes production and distribution of educational material, and speeches by Renctas’ volunteers to help teachers promote pedagogical activities with their students.
Funding Information
This project has been retired and is no longer accepting donations.
Additional Documentation
This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).
