UPEACE Environmental Club
Join the Environmental Club and join one of the most active student organizations on campus!
Become engaged in the Club’s mission of “Raising awareness of sustainability practices and local ecology within the Club, the UPEACE community, and neighboring El Rodeo and Ciudad Colón through educational activities, initiatives, and proposals that seek to reduce our ecological footprint on the Earth and to enrich our appreciation for the environment.” See the Club’s Bylaws.
The Club was founded in October 2005, has grown to a Membership of nearly 30 persons, and raised a modest budget. It has succeeded in setting up a composting and recycling system; ridding the campus of Styrofoam cups and plates; greening the UPEACE Model United Nations Conference; showing environmental films and holding discussions; and celebrating Earth Day. See the Club’s History.
This guidebook is meant to provide people with the resources available not to just experience nature, but to learn about it as well. We hope that you will carry this book with you as you travel around El Rodeo. Use it as a foundation for your learning about the flora and fauna of this region. Hopefully this will spark your interest to continue exploring and learning about this area.
