Fostering conservation through environmental education…
By introducing the curriculum, future guardians of mangrove forests (aka – today’s students) become aware of and informed about their local ecosystems. And through them, this conservationist mindset spreads to the community at large – encouraging actions that help to preserve their valuable mangrove forests and associated coastal ecosystems for current and future generations.
