Thanks
for visiting my website. In this section you'll find current
environmental activities and regional examples of important
ecological issues. You'll also discover active links to valuable
webpages. Each link contains innovative web exercises designed
for active learning using some of the vast resources of the
Internet. Ultimately, the aim of this website is to foster
attitudes of stewardship and environmental citizenship like
Mayas did. Mayans were water sorcerors and they prayed for
rain to the God Chac to live a better life. Their magic and
rituals were based in the care for the community of life and
the recognition of interdependence and intrinsic value of
all beings.
