Marine Conservation without Borders – Mexico (2020)
AZA-SAFE GRANT RECIPIENT
Marine Conservation without Borders (MCwB) collaborates with Indigenous communities worldwide to develop environmental science curricula that integrate Indigenous ecological knowledge with western science to help these two worlds collaborate to protect biodiversity. With its 2020 AZA-SAFE SWOT grant, MCwB will develop a middle school science curriculum on sea turtles for students in Quintana Roo, focusing on eastern Pacific leatherbacks and Kemp’s ridleys, written in Spanish and English and ethno-translated into Maya.
The mangrove ecosystems biocultural curriculum prototype can be downloaded in multiple language combinations from the Marine Conservation without Borders free Digital Library.
