Following the work that Marca ADL has been developing over the past years on the themes of Climate Change, Sustainability, and Green Economy, this year we intend to encourage reflection on the role of citizens and organisations in mitigating the impacts of climate change, particularly in terms of local biodiversity, and to provide practical knowledge about flora native species and tools for action at an individual level and in the territories where we operate.
1) Raise awareness about the importance of youth mobilization and participation in solving local and global problems;
2) Promoting youth participation and involvement in environmental and social issues, in particular in the management of natural resources and biodiversity;
3) Reflect on the causes and consequences of climate change and ways to act as citizens, particularly in terms of managing natural resources and biodiversity;
4) Reflect on the importance of autochthonous flora species for biodiversity and territory management
5)To support Marca in setting up and maintaining a nursery of Mediterranean flora species
6) Promote reflection on sustainable behaviours, tools that help these behaviours, namely in terms of consumption and their impacts on the management of natural resources and biodiversity.

The project includes a set of environmental conservation and sustainability education actions, including the collection and sorting of native plant seeds for the creation of micro-reserves, the cleaning and rehabilitation of temporary watercourses with control of invasive species and reforestation with native species, and the production and maintenance of native plants in a nursery. Also support the construction and maintenance of nursery infrastructure. Supporting the watering of existing plantations and maintenance of interventions in public green spaces.
