Chetumal, Quintana Roo — The Quintana Roo Council for Humanities, Sciences and Technologies (COQHCYT) is inviting the public to participate in activities commemorating World Environment Day, scheduled for June 5, 9, and 11 at four planetariums across the state.
The events aim to promote environmental awareness, citizen participation, and responsible stewardship of natural resources through educational and recreational activities. They are part of the state government’s New Agreement for the Wellbeing and Development of Quintana Roo, led by Governor Mara Lezama Espinosa, which seeks to strengthen environmental education and build more conscious communities committed to sustainability.
The program includes workshops, guided nature trail walks, digital dome projections, conferences, photographic exhibitions, and displays of scientific projects.
Participating venues are the Yook’ol Kaab Planetarium in Chetumal, the Sayab Planetarium in Playa del Carmen, the Ka’Yok’ Planetarium in Cancun, and the Cha’an Ka’an Planetarium in Cozumel.
COQHCYT Director General Cristopher Malpica Morales emphasized the importance of promoting activities that foster an environmental culture from an early age, using educational strategies that encourage respect for nature and responsible use of resources.
