Rain Forest Concern reports partnership progress
Rain Forest concern has posted a news item reporting exciting news of their partnership with Ephemeral Brazil.
The report covers the latest developments, detailing the combination of native tree planting with hands-on environmental education for secondary school students at Sítio Santo Adolfo in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
The article states "By linking youth environmental education with a real, actively managed restoration site, conservation is approached as a living practice that students can return to, rather than an abstract concept. This strengthens both the knowledge retained and engagement."
