Categories: Animals Children and Youth Community Education Environment International . The Proyecto Itzaes' Science in the Villages project brings the hands on work of environmental science and ecology to the poor, rural villages in Yucatan Mexico served by Proyecto Itzaes. Children in the villages of Ixil and Mococha are archiving traditional ecological knowledge by interviewing village elders (often in Maya and Spanish), and have started a seed bank of native plants. The project increases knowledge and respect for the rich biodiversity of Yucatan and provides real world experience in science that motivates students to stay in school.
