Every January 26, World Environmental Education Day is celebrated, a date that aims to highlight the importance of education as a generator of awareness about caring for the environment.
This day is celebrated because the Stockholm Declaration was established in 1972 (at the Conference on the Human Environment, organized by the United Nations).
The environmental specialist and former director of the Ancón Foundation, Alida Spadafora, stressed that we do not have much more time so that the effects we have caused to the Earth are not irreversible, a situation that is worrying in the face of climate change that is in front of us and that we are living.
“When we see what is happening in our country, it never ceases to worry us that we have not understood or do not care that we are harming nature, biodiversity, our water and our environment in general,” he said.
He referred to the issue of the new contract with Minera Panamá and Cerro Patacón, stating that we see this as a disaster, where it does not seem that we are making progress. “Nice speeches are made at the United Nations and they are pure blah, blah, blah. Clearly the contract with Minera is illegal,” he remarked.
