[Coral-List] Press release - STINAPA Bonaire launches updated educational boxes

[Anouschka van de Ven]

STINAPA Bonaire launches renewed education boxes for Bonaire¹s elementary
schools.
 
The STINAPA Wild4Life School Program is a nature and environmental education
program for all elementary schools on Bonaire with the objective to raise
awareness among children and to develop a sense of respect and caring for
the natural environment.
 
The Wild4Life School Program consists of various components, including
inside- and outside activities and educational boxes. STINAPA Bonaire is
working on renewing these educational boxes. The educational boxes have
specific topics related to the nature of Bonaire. Pupils learn about
Bonaire¹s nature which they interact with on a daily basis. The educational
box about birds was already renewed several years ago. STINAPA is happy to
announce that two new educational boxes are currently ready to be used; ŒThe
Coral Reef¹ and ŒDonkeys on Bonaire¹.
 
The educational box ŒDonkeys on Bonaire¹ is intended for younger pupils of
Bonaire¹s elementary schools. Donkeys were introduced to the Antilles in the
17th century by the Spaniards. Donkeys are not endemic to Bonaire and
Bonaire is a harsh environment for donkeys. Especially in the dry season
there is not enough food for them. Consequently, donkeys have unfortunately
also contributed to the decline of the vegetation on Bonaire. By means of
this education box, STINAPA and the Bonaire Donkey Sanctuary want to raise
awareness among schools, children and their parents to support a friendly
association with animals.
 
The educational box ŒThe Coral Reef¹ is intended for the older pupils of
Bonaire¹s elementary schools. With this educational box, STINAPA wants to
raise awareness among schools, children and their parents regarding this
magnificent and important ecosystem in order to gain support for the
protection of Bonaire¹s valuable nature, as this is an important economic
source for Bonaire, with thousands of people visiting to enjoy our nature
every year.
