Abstract

The project focuses on the sustainability of the Mirador Trail in the dry forest, utilizing renewable energy sources to power audio cameras and supporting educational activities to raise awareness in the community about energy efficiency and environmental conservation through experiential learning. An educational itinerary tailored to different age groups has been designed, featuring interactive and hands-on activities that encourage active participation and reflection. Adjustments based on participant feedback, such as age segmentation and incorporation of relevant topics, have been implemented. The methodology has proven effective, allowing for continuous adaptation and improvements in the educational program. Progress has been made towards the main objective of promoting more sustainable practices and raising community awareness about the importance of environmental conservation. This holistic approach aims to create a lasting impact, empowering participants as agents of change towards a more sustainable and conscientious future.
