Nature education is essential if we are to build a generation that is aware of environmental challenges and ready to take action. By raising awareness of ecological issues, we want to encourage everyone to adopt environmentally-friendly actions and to take action for a more sustainable future.
Awareness-raising and education
Nature education and environmental awareness are at the heart of our mission at A Rocha. We believe that understanding ecological issues is the first step towards a concrete and sustainable commitment. That’s why we develop educational initiatives for people of all ages, from children and adults to school groups and students.
