Attention, teachers! CI and the Northrop Grumman Foundation are launching ECO Classroom, a unique and innovative nationwide professional development program for middle- and high-school science teachers in public schools. The four selected teams will travel to CI’s Tropical Ecology Assessment and Monitoring (TEAM) Network research site in Costa Rica to experience the firsthand field collection of biodiversity and climate data. By bringing these learning opportunities into their classroom, these teachers will inspire the next generation of scientists and environmental stewards.

25th anniversary of Conservation International

1.03.2012

Twenty-five years ago, Conservation International was born in a hotel room in Washington, D.C. And in the 2 ½ decades that have followed, we've worked to help societies value and protect the natural world that sustains us all.

Although we've worked in dozens of countries with more partners than we can count, there's one important thing all of this work has in common: your support. Whether it was signing the first-ever “debt-for-nature” swap with the government of Bolivia or creating an action plan to conserve a vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, our work has never been possible without you.

We're not throwing a big birthday bash — there's just too much work that still needs to get done — but we'll be celebrating in smaller ways all year long. Keep an eye out for stories capturing CI's new successes and rich history of conservation around the world!

Eco-trail Zhuravlynna (Crane)

This year Ecoclub “Green Wave” in partnership with Mizhrichenskyi regional landscape park started to implement the project “Eco-trail Zhuravlynna” with a support of Matra biodiversity and nature conservation program of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Netherlands. In the project the eco-trail will be equipped in Mizhrichenskyi Park. After that the nature school will take place on the basis of the eco-trail. The nature school is open for everybody and will involve relevant exerts.
Mizhrichanskyi Park is located in the picturesque place where the Desna flows into the Dnipro (Chernihiv Region). During short-filed trips based on the eco-trail you will be able not only to enjoy the nature of the Ukrainian Polissia but also to learn about culture and history of the local communities. In addition, you will see Polissia mires which blossom in yellow in spring. Moreover, you will feel the fresh air of the pine forest where the elk could be found.
During the nature school experts on mammals, arthropoda, amphibians, reptiles, birds and plants will lead workshops on species identification and will tell you about the interesting things from plant and animal life. The nature school will be held in spring. Do not miss it!
If you are interested in this project and want to participate, you could be involved in preparation of the required equipment, equipping the eco-trail, collecting data on the eco-trail natural and cultural features, workshops in the nature school and other activities related to the project.
