Jobabo, Las Tunas.- The inhabitants of the community of Sabalo, main protagonists of the event, accompanied by specialists from the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment (Citma) in the province and the municipality, closed the environmental education campaign developed over several days, in which children, youth and adults from the rural communities participated.
The result of a contest held in different modalities such as painting, poetry, short stories and décima were released announced during the activity. The pioneer Danilo León Cutiño was one of the most awarded.
Richard Olano Labrada, a specialist of Citma in Las Tunas, pointed out the need to protect nature, especially emphasized on the damages caused by the inadequate management of birds and the degradation of the ecosystem.
The chronogram once again included various activities aimed at bringing the human being closer to the natural wealth through a conscious work that encourages the elimination of invasive plants, and the planting of species that provide food to the Fernandina's flicker.
This event has been held since 2010 in the Monte Cabaniguán-Ojo de Agua Wildlife Refuge, with a national character and its main objective is to expand community work for the conservation of the environment, as well as the study of that bird.
