Identidad Madidi and the educational units of La Paz

One of the objectives of the expedition was to generate greater environmental awareness in the students of the educational units, given the fundamental importance of education for the construction of a society that is more aware of its responsibility to care for the environment.

The activities focused on scientific talks aimed at high school students in the cities of La Paz and El Alto and urban populations and communities in municipalities linked to Madidi National Park, in coordination with the Ministry of Education and the Departmental Education Office of La Paz.

These talks were structured around three main themes: biodiversity and protected areas, conservation and development of sustainable livelihoods, and science as a tool for exploration and solutions. The presentation included photographs, maps, diagrams, video clips and videotaped testimonials, comparisons and examples, questions to learn about the students' perception of the importance of nature and environmental care.
