Title: Pride Campaige for red knots in San Antonio Oeste
Post by: Mirta on 05-Nov-09, 12:31:26 PM
Perhaps some of you remember that we have started last year a Pride Campaign with Rare Conservation in behalf of red knots with the aim to prevent the disturbs that ATV made on beaches. Well, last week we had the first public activity, an ECOART day on Mar Grande beach, one of the key places to red knots during their migration.
With the help of an art teacher, students in the last year of highschool on one of our colleges, create huge art messages: an oystercatcher nest destroyed by an ATV, a red knot made with garbage they found on the beach, America made of seaweeds sorrounded by caring youngs, and more...
If you want to see more pictures and have a Facebook account, visit "Playero Rojizo" site, or visit my facebook page (look for "Mirta Carbajal").
We are very proud of those youngs and their work!  :star:   :2thumbsup:

Thanks for the update and the pictures Mirta.  I am assuming (please correct me if I'm wrong) that the ocean is the Atlantic?

Yes , it is. That beach is in San Antonio Bay in San Matias Gulf, en the north of Patagonia.
