TOWARD ECOLOGICALLY LITERATE SOCIETY

Goal

We develop education program about mountain ecosystem to create ecologically literate society. We are aiming for increasing awareness and strengthening the knowledge of local communities (including institutional stakeholders and individuals) in mountain region.

Scope of activity

We share knowledge about biodiversity and wildlife in mountain region, their ecosystem value, the threats for mountains and also how to contribute to its conservation through workshops, open class, discussion and campaign. We aim  for school students, mountain trekkers and local community and also institutional stakeholders.  Be believe that investing our effort on education is worth for a long run.

CURRENT PROJECTS

Community Sharing (SRAWUNG)

It is three-monthly event where we facilitate mountain enthusiasts communities to discuss and share knowledge and experience about mountain ecosystem and environmentally responsible mountaineering activities. This event becomes our participatory education program where a community will learn from other experience to be more aware and knowledgeable.
