Education and awareness on environmental issues
The goal is to develop projects promoting environmental issues.
Through the “cultural centre” a work will be done with the children and the adolescents of Levanto to raise their awareness on environmental subjects. They will be taught the importance of taking care of their environment and the techniques to achieve it.
The US organization "Peace Corps" is already working on these issues with the development of environmental courses in the schools of the region of Chachapoyas.
The idea is to develop a partnership with this organization in the village of Levanto and together organize projects related to education and environmental awareness.
In addition, training programs will be organized to explain to the people of the community the concept of "ecology and sustainable living" and help them to apply it in their home environment and daily life.

In the Amazonas region there are several ACP (Private Conservation Areas). This type of area is a good way to protect important natural area and water resources.
The organization "Peace Corps" and other NGOs related to environmental work help handling some of the ACP and act as a counsellor in their development. In Levanto, there is an ACP of 6 800 hectare, the ACP Tilacancha. With the population of Levanto and the children and the adolescents of the “house of the culture”, some activities such as planting trees and other biological activities promoting a better understanding and the public participation, in the development of this ACP, will be organized.

The collaboration with the organization "Peace Corps" may also be in the development of other conservation projects such as the protection and restoration of the Yalape ruin. This collaboration may be expressed as a financial fund of the Ecolibri organization but also as volunteer work in coordination with the delegate of the organization "Peace Corps" and other representatives of environmental NGOs in the area Chachapoyas.
