Conservation of Native Botanical Species

Sponsored by a cement company, this foundation’s objective is to preserve the local botanical species. Home to a research area where scholars from different parts of the world conduct specialized projects, the foundation was given land by the city. Developing a protected forest and an educational environment, along with a museum of local plants where school children can learn about this topic are the top functions of this foundation. Volunteers will be working as part of teams in special projects.
