Description: The project aimed to make information on Approuague River ecology accessible to young people and raise awareness among the local population. Results included the initiation of 40 RFH (Rural Family House) youth – 50% of whom were girls – into nature protection and sustainable development principles, with a focus on integrating nature protection into the socio-economic context. Furthermore, learners gained firsthand knowledge of the river’s biodiversity, including sensitive and endemic species like the podocnemis and hoatzin. This engagement led to the documentation of their observations and the creation of a fauna and flora recognition booklet, which was distributed in paper form to schools, AKME (Approuague Kaw Municipal Ecomuseum), and tourist facilities, alongside digital versions available via social media and QR codes. Additionally, educational animations developed by RFH students were presented to 93 primary school students, engaging both RFH and primary school teachers in the pedagogical approach.
