The workshop is part of Conserva Aves' initiatives for to reinforce the knowledge and commitment of communities to the conservation of their environments. The main objective was to educate participants on the importance of re-declaration of the Milpuj ACP and provide them with tools for dealing with and preventing forest fires, promoting better governance in fire management.
The activity involved local educational institutions and included the participation of young people from the César Vallejo Educational Institution in La Magdalena, who walked along ecological trails and became familiar with the flora and fauna of the ACP. These workshops not only benefited the students, but also strengthened the link with the communities of Nogalcucho and Quimbaleran, increasing their awareness of environmental risks and threats in their territory. The initiative was attended by students, teachers and community members, who received training on fire prevention, its causes and consequences, and sustainable fire management practices.
