Cozumel, Quintana Roo — The Cozumel Parks and Museums Foundation (FPMC) hosted a “Discovering Nature” program at Parque Urbano Corazón, where children aged 7 to 12 engaged in hands-on learning about the island’s biodiversity.
During the event, participants explored the biological diversity within this urban green space through a guided one-hour tour. They identified various species of flora and fauna, including fungi, birds, and insects such as butterflies and bees.
Staff from Parque Urbano Corazón coordinated the activity in collaboration with the Pedagogy and Social Assistance Directorate (PAS). The program featured group integration dynamics that reinforced learning through observation, play, and direct interaction with nature.
Observers noted at least 10 different butterfly species, as well as stingless bee hives in tzalam trees and birds like woodpeckers, highlighting the area’s biological richness.
The program concluded with an environmental fair where children tested their knowledge through playful activities, including solving a crossword puzzle made from recycled materials.
FPMC General Director Juanita Alonso Marrufo said such initiatives strengthen environmental education as a key tool for fostering new generations committed to environmental care, aligning with the New Agreement for Well-being and Development of Quintana Roo promoted by Governor Mara Lezama Espinosa.
