Amanda's Message

"Bahia de Caraquez is a coastal community that was gravely affected by El Niño in 1997 and a devastating earthquake in 1998. Following these natural disasters, local environmental groups re-envisioned Bahia as an ‘Eco-City’ and the populace has since placed a growing emphasis to manage the city and surrounding area in a sustainable manner. Western Ecuador as a region has suffered some of the world’s worst rates of deforestation. GSE’s Eco-Action Education program engages the next generation in helping to develop a culture of environmentalism by teaching youth about environmental action such as reforestation of the Punta Gorda Natural Preserve."
