The Undersecretariat of Environment of the Municipality of Concordia, through the “Comenzando por Casa” program and within the framework of World Wetlands Day, carried out a community cleanup day at the Manzores Stream in conjunction with the Wetlands Protection Council.
In this regard, the head of the Department of Environmental Studies and Projects of the Undersecretariat of Environment, Héctor Rivero, commented that “we are continuing a task that we began last year in the San Juan and Cadario area, talking with the residents, so that they take care of the environment, so that they do not throw away their waste, so that they protect and conserve the native flora and fauna of the place,” he noted.
In that sense, Estela Solana, a member of the Wetlands Council, indicated that “for us it is very important to be visible, in what has to do with the tasks carried out by the Wetlands Council and this is a day that we take advantage of.”
NGOs, a group of Boy Scouts, members of the Citizen Assembly, volunteers from the Botanical Garden, and the Municipal Nursery participated in the community day.
The day concluded with a free class open to the community on the importance of caring for wetlands and their ecosystem services.
