Awareness was raised among more than 1,900 people through educational fairs and workshops held throughout the region. In addition, the educational kit “More Pollinators, More Life,” developed by the Ministry of the Environment’s EDUCCA Municipal Program, was launched as part of the regional Poli-LAC project.

Identification and characterization of 84 bio-businesses with the potential to move towards sustainable production models aligned with pollinator conservation.

Strategic coordination with PROCOMPITE, promoting support and investment mechanisms that integrate the protection of pollinating insects into local productive initiatives.
