Education Reports
From 2006-2011 Ramon Cedeño Loor
developed Bioregional Education
after-school classes. The classes greatly influenced the various schools
in Bahia, especially the science classes, where they were held —Genesis
School, Fanny de Baird School, and Juan Pio Montufar School. This year the
Bioregional Sustainability Institute hosted a Summer Study Abroad Program
with students from the University of Oregon, USA titled
“Building Bioregional Communities.”

The Ecuadorian coastal city of Bahia de Caraquez has committed itself through
law to become ecological and sustainable. Planet Drum Foundation in San
Francisco, California helped create community awareness of issues there at a
celebration announcing the Ecological City Declaration in January 1999.
Since then, Planet Drum has established a field office and carried out a major
bioregional project to revegetate a city barrio with native trees for erosion
control against future mudslides and to create an urban "wild
corridor." We are currently working
on additional revegetation of hillsides, water supply and purity,
household ecology education, biological sewage treatment, alternative energy,
and others.
You are invited to assist or visit these projects. If you
are interested in doing so, please inform us as soon as possible so that we can
fit you into our schedule. Click here for more information about
volunteering.
