“Benito Juárez” University, -our only University at the overwintering surroundings to “Sierra Chincua” and “El Rosario” Sanctuaries, adds to the most serious efforts in our region on the rescue of ancestral methods in community organization and sustainable agriculture practices as well as biodiversity recognition, conservation and restoration.
Sharing with students at “Benito Juárez” University the way we delivered our message on the “The Importance of Trees” with the schools surrounding the Reserve, gained applauses and recognition from the University.
“It is wonderful to know that our young generations, through such an interchange of hand-designed paper butterflies and letters carrying conservation and friendship messages, are starting to get thoroughly aware of the natural treasure we live in” -Students and teachers commented-
Estela continued:
“Most of us do now know how rain generates and how our forests are vital for it; it is with this simple simulatin of a little forest containing several components to encourage children to recognizing in nature and above all, through showing how the more healthy and dense a forest keeps, the more rain phenomenon it will attract from our oceans, the best for flora and fauna’s habitat, -Monarchs’ habitat- and therefore, the better our life in the region shall be guaranteed. Wetting the green sponge and seeing how water was kept in there, made their gracious faces go still and their eyes wide open!”
-Estela shared with University students the way the visit to schools this winter has been exceptionally informative and effective!.
University students then spoke about one of the main topics they are now focused on, which is the importance of the initiatives that the Michoacán State University is publishing regarding conservation practices all throughout the entity:
“Avocado plantations and soil use rights should be submitted to better designed environmntal and commerce regulations in our state; our Michoacán University is releasing really interesting studies and collaboration initiatives on the matter; we are particularly interested in it, since we belong to one of the most important Natural Reserves in the world as the overwintering spots for Monarch butterflies; we have a really big responsibility as a local society”
Our fantastic program completes now the delivery of your two last fantastic Ambassador Monarchs this season now that hundreds and hundreds of them now invade our schools around the Monarchs’ Reserve!.
