Environmental education in Germany

Tropica Verde is also actively engaged with environmental education in Germany since 1989. Costa Rica seems like a very far away country and many are not aware that the tropical forests are being extensively cut down for agriculture, livestock or expanding infrastructure. And so, one does not ask how one can contribute to their conservation.

Bookable educational offers on rainforest topics

The aim of Tropica Verde eV’s educational offerings is to familiarize students with the importance and benefits of biodiversity, to inform them about the causes and consequences of the progressive destruction of the rainforest and to give them examples of their own responsible behavior , For this purpose, different educational modules have been designed in cooperation with Tropica Verde.

Educational Materials – Free to download

 

Funded by the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN) with funding from the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU).

Individual education offers

Are you interested in an individually tailored tour or a talk on rainforest topics? Are you considering setting up an action or information stand on the subject of rainforest at your next school or company event? Then get in touch with us. We like to come by or help you with educational material.

Action and information stands

In addition to the development and implementation of educational programs, Tropica Verde participates with guided tours, lectures, action and information stands at events of long-term partners and changing cooperation partners. These events are supported with great commitment by members and volunteers.

In spring, Tropica Verde is traditionally represented with a booth on the Green Stock Exchange in the Palmengarten. In May, Tropica Verde regularly participates in guided tours or lectures at the BioFrankfurt e.V. action week „Experiencing Biodiversity“.
