BANNER PROJECT
The leadership of urban and rural school teachers has demonstrated itself to be the fundamental component in the search for community solutions to local environmental problems. Incorporation environmental education into the official curriculum of the Secretary of Public Education, we have facilitated the training of more than one hundred teachers, collaborating in the environmental education of more than 2,000 primary school children and their communities. In 2007, we made important efforts to promote community involvement in the conservation of the Colorado River Delta that successfully achieved the participation of teachers and students in several projects related to the construction of interpretative trails, the improvement and restoration of natural habitat and group training. Throughout this process, we have trained 400 technicians, biologists, students and community members in monitoring, restoration, management and avitourism techniques, by means of 15 training workshops.
