Climate change is a reality that is affecting the life cycles of nature. Extreme events such as droughts, floods and high temperatures that are damaging our fauna and flora are increasingly recurring; as well as the availability of water and other resources.

 

The loss of biodiversity is perhaps one of the main negative effects of this reality; before which adaptation to climate change is essential.

​

In FUPEC we consider that environmental education and the protection of biodiversity is an institutional priority. What we want to disseminate and transmit is a culture, a philosophy of life that is attentive to environmental problems, not only in the sense of respect for nature, but also for the good use and improvement of natural resources through techniques innovative and appropriate for large-scale application.

​

These services consist of educational activities dedicated to schools, training activities, awareness raising and technology validation. Experience in the field of environmental education has shown that "doing" is the best teacher to acquire that "environmental culture" without which it is impossible to direct our actions in terms of sustainability and duration.

 

In the same way, regarding the protection of biodiversity, we believe that only what is known and respected can be valued and protected. In this sense, together with Salvadoran communities abroad - SALEX we develop joint efforts with other local actors such as City Halls, Study Centers and Communities for the development of projects for the valuation and sustainable use of native species of local flora, such as olives. , henequen, cocoa and others

​

Other important initiatives are related to the dissemination of the environmental offer associated with local tourism through the services and agendas offered by the parks. nationals and tourism companies in that field.
