We are a group of local guides committed to doing voluntary work in conservation and environmental education in order to promote, create new spaces, workshops and dynamics with children, youth and adults from our community and its surroundings in order to raise awareness about the conservation of the natural resources of our Ria Lagartos biosphere reserve in Yucatan, Mexico.
