First Aguirre Environmental Meeting
By Marina Ocampo
On December 1 Titi Conservation Alliance participated in the First Aguirre Environmental Meeting organized by the Aquirre Municipality’s Environmental Technical Unit. With the assistance of many businesses, local environmental organization and the Municipality, students of local schools and colleges took part in the march from Boca Vieja to the Nahomi Point. At this magnificent location the students presented plays, dances and dramatizations celebrating our fragile environment and precious resources. County officials and professors talked about the need to take care of our natural heritage. Several information stalls provided brochures and information on what the local organizations like Titi Conservation Alliance and ASOPROQUEPOS do and how everyone can be more environmentally conscientious.
Everybody had a great time and promised to make even bigger and better celebration next year.
Titi Conservation Alliance is local environmental organization focused on the conservation of endangered titi (squirrel) monkeys through sustainable tourism development, habitat restoration through reforestation and environmental education. The founders and members of the Alliance are local tourism business owners dedicated to the conservation and sustainable development of Costa Rican Central Pacific Region.
