"Conectando dos Selvas a través de la Educación para la Conservaciòn'

Partners

CREES The Manu Learning Center: Salvacion, Peru

About the Program

In Spring of 2008, students from the temperate rainforest of the Pacific Northwest will have the opportunity to connect to conservation issues in the rainforests of Peru. The University of Oregon Environmental Leadership Program (ELP) will work with The CREES Foundation, a Peruvian educational outreach and research institute, to help school-age children from different areas of the globe understand and share about issues of global concern, while exchanging knowledge and wonder of ecosystems very seperate from their own.

En la primavera del 2008, estudiantes de la selva del sudeste peruano van a tener la oportunidad de contactarse con estudiantes del noroeste de los Estados Unidos para tocar temas relacionados a la conservación de su entorno. El Programa de Liderazgo Ambiental (ELP) de la Universidad de Oregon conjuntamente con la Fundación CREES pretenden apoyar a niños de partes muy diferentes del globo, a través de un programa de educación ambiental, a entender y compartir temas de preocupación global, intercambiando informacion y la maravilla de vivir en ecosistemas tan diferentes.
