Environmental Education

Environmental Education is the practice of teaching about nature and how it functions. It also includes how human beings can care for ecosystems and live sustainably, minimizing the degradation and contamination of air, soil, and water, as well as the many threats to biodiversity.

The MCL works with students from schools located around the periphery of the BEN, giving presentations and organizing events with themes like global climate change, recycling, and other relevant topics, including those requested by the schools. For example, our environmental educators organize trips to our Finca Steller Education Center for groups like Boy Scouts. This way, the children can perform organized activities with their groups as well as become immersed in learning about nature through hikes and days in the outdoors.

The best strategy we have to protect Mother Nature is to cultivate seeds of consciousness early on, and in this case it applies to our children. If we successfully pass on what we know now to our youth, we will have responsible and knowledgeable adults in the future who will love and protect the only earth we were given.
