Cozumel, Quintana Roo — The Fundación de Parques y Museos de Cozumel (FPMC) hosted a guided silent walk at Parque Urbano Corazón to mark the International Day for Biological Diversity, blending mindfulness with environmental education.
Participants followed a silent route through one of the island’s most biodiverse urban green spaces, accompanied by breathing exercises and prompts to connect with the natural surroundings. The activity aimed to foster reflection on ecosystem conservation and appreciation for Cozumel’s native species.
The walk was organized in partnership with the collectives Casa Casero and Red Florecer Desarrollo Humano, groups that promote well-being through nature-based activities and community strengthening.
FPMC Director General Juanita Alonso Marrufo said the event aligns with the state government’s Nuevo Acuerdo por el Bienestar y Desarrollo de Quintana Roo, an initiative led by Governor Mara Lezama Espinosa that emphasizes community building and social cohesion.
Adrián Andrés Tun, head of Parque Urbano Corazón, coordinated the activity through the FPMC’s Directorate of Pedagogy and Social Assistance as part of the institution’s ongoing environmental education and community wellness programs.
