“If to all this is added insensitivity, greed, impunity, lack of environmental education, bad practices, and unwise decision-making, then there are plenty of reasons to raise awareness”, the delegate of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment (CITMA), Aliocha Arias, said.

The scientific program is completed with topics on conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity, environmental education for the conservation of biodiversity in the current Cuban school, Law and Order in the conservation of the environment, the local value of forests, and importance of trees outside the forest, in addition to urban forestry.
