With the Programme Bird Friendly Schools, Fundación ProAves aims to link the educational institutions with conservation, research and environmental education processes being carried out, in order to generate educational projects that will allow the reach and understanding, use and care of biodiversity knowledge with a special emphasis in birds.
Environmental instructors of ProAves perform a close follow up with the institutions through training, creation of groups, organization of workshops, all with topics related to sustainability and the environment.
All schools undergo a process, in which they demonstrate the sustainability of the project, and that it has been included in the educational programme; in this way, ProAves commits its work together to the one of the educational institutions in this process.
