Detectave in Guadalajara, Mexico
The educational program Detectave teaches the public to analyze social and environmental issues as well as value the importance of conserving biodiversity. The program’s mission is to change the student’s perception and attitudes towards the environment in Guadalajara, Mexico. Short workshops welcome children, teenagers, and adults to observe their amazing local biodiversity and learn to recognize some local bird species with educational materials such as the Bird Observatory and Coloring book to complement the activities. In addition to non-formal programs, Detectave has been working with primary and secondary schools directly to add birds to the official science curricula.
