Cuba Boosts Environmental Education

Havana, Oct 11 (acn) Cuba has called a number of Latin American 
countries to join a Project of Global Environmental Citizenship aimed 
at promoting ecological education throughout the continent.

The President of the Cuban Parliament's Commission on Education, 
Culture, Sciences, Technology and Environment, JosC) A. Diaz Duque, made 
the appeal at a meeting held in this capital under the sponsorship of 
the United Nations Program for the Environment and its regional office.

Diaz stressed the success of the implementation of the ecological 
project in several Cuban municipalities through the broadcasting of 
didactical materials and the organization of local workshops on the 
topic.

The meeting was attended by a group of countries, including Argentina, 
Chile, Ecuador, Mexico and Peru, that signed an agreement in 2003 to 
promote environmental education among the people.

In its annual report Alive Planet 2006, the World Wildlife Foundation 
concluded that Cuba is the only country around the planet that has 
experienced some progress toward sustainable development.
