The committees can register through WhatsApp where they will be providing all the information about the event, likewise, by phone call: 3015936801. “We invite the communities of the sectors adjacent to the wetlands, to form committees and join the the campaign, in which we will provide support, technical assistance and most importantly: together with them we will develop what is the district policy for the preservation and conservation of wetlands and all the actions that are required for their maintenance and sustainability in time”, indicated Avendaño.
Avendaño extends the invitation to the entire Samaria community to be encouraged to participate in the recovery and conservation committees of the wetlands that will be formed.
