Parque Punta de Lobos is constituted as a park-school that manages study plans and programs aimed for teachers, children and young people, training empowered citizens in their role as guardians of the coastal ecosystem. The main objectives of the Parque Punta de Lobos Education Plan are to value coastal ecosystems and the environment in general, involve the community in the task of conservation, support teachers’ work, and facilitate the acquisition of tools and environmental knowledge. In addition, the PPL seeks to generate territorial knowledge through the use of geographic information tools and the exchange of knowledge between local actors and congregated specialists.

 

All of this will increase the community involvement in the task of preserving and regenerating the coastal ecosystem. To achieve this balance between social well-being and ecological conservation, it is imperative to implement educational programs and collaboration networks that allow increasing the involvement of the community both from knowledge and from a deep connection with the territory.
