Native flora and fauna rescue center
In Argentina, tens of thousands of non-domestic animals live in zoos which are currently being converted, and their more modern variants for exhibition and/or spectacle are kept as pets or are part of private collections. Some legally and some not. Most of them lead miserable lives, full of suffering and deprivation, even though in many cases their owners do not want and/or notice it.
Particularly in the case of illegal petting and exhibitions, most of the animals often come from illegal captures and wildlife trafficking. After drugs and illegal weapons, the exotic animal trade is the third largest source of illicit profits in the world today, yet the penalties associated with these crimes are insignificant compared to those associated with the first two illicit activities.
Introduction
The Argentine Republic has a great diversity of species of animals, including vertebrates. In this sense it is estimated that inhabit our country a few 985 species of birds, 345 of mammals, 248 of reptiles, 145 of amphibians and 710 of fish. According to the Fundación Vida Silvestre Argentina 529 all of them are endangered. As for the flora, there are more than 11,000 species of higher plants that inhabit the soil of Argentina, with about 1800, with varying degrees of threat. Most of these species are found in this situation the product of the loss of habitat produced by deforestation and agricultural activities, mainly by predation and illegal trade carried on by the man in second place. In this sense, taking into account that Argentina is acceding state of the CITES convention (convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) by law 22.344 and that the constant kidnapping of animals and plants by different agency national and provincial requires rescue centres appropriate to the reality of our times the Foundation TekoveMymba (FTM) has implemented a rescue center for native plants and wildlife.
The rescue center of the FTM has as primary objective to meet the needs of the animals and plants in the wild that under the circumstances of human origin have been compromised their options for freedom and survival in their habitat of origin.
In the context of our proposal, the term ransom refers, besides the autochthonous animal and plant recovered by the seizure by the authorities, to the individuals who have been rejected from households in which they were kept as pets, those that have been found in conditions that can't fend for themselves, or have been directly affected by any human activity such as habitat destruction, etc
In terms of fauna and flora in the FTM has as general objective to develop a comprehensive proposal able to fill the gaps, technical, operational, and scientists in the handling and management of wildlife in Argentina, strengthening the capacities of state institutions related to this activity and the specific objectives to:
- Develop effective tools for the proper management of wildlife in Argentina.
- Support through technical cooperation and direct participation of the processes of control of the wildlife and its management.
- Collect and generate effective alternatives to disposal for the purposes of wildlife conservation rescued from trafficking, the illegal possession and other adverse situations.
- Develop mechanisms for management, rehabilitation and research of the flora and fauna.
- Ensure the perpetuity of the flora and fauna of Argentina through conservation programs.
- Reduce the environmental impact on wildlife, caused by the various anthropogenic activities in the country.
- To promote the conservation of wildlife through the rational use of the same.
- Generate educational programs for raising the awareness of the problem and the effects of trafficking, the illegal possession and the loss of the wildlife.
Objectives of the Center of Rescue of Flora and Fauna
The rescue center of flora and fauna of the FTM has the objectives of:
A. MAIN:
Reception, assessment and diagnosis, quarantine, rehabilitation and determinacióndel final destination of the flora and fauna of the Republic of Argentina.
B. SIDE:
Research: physical Rehabilitation and behavioral, rehabilitation, release and monitoring of the fauna.
Education and Outreach: promote the awareness about the negative consequences of the tenure of fauna and flora and the respect for all forms of life, as well as disseminate the work of the center.
In the framework of the legislation, provincial, national and international (particularly the Res. CITES 10.7) the final decision on the disposition of the confiscated animals will aim at the achievement of three objectives:
- To maximize the contribution to the conservation of the especimenessin put you in danger in any way to the health, the profile ethological or the republic of conservation of populations of wild or in captivity for the species.
- Discourage the continuation of the trade unlawful or irregular work of the kind.
- Find solutions decent, either by keeping them in captivity, reintegrándolos in the wild or sacrificándolos through euthanasia.
Operating steps
1. Evaluation of the feasibility of reception: It initiates the contact with the owner of the animal or plant to be received. Is performed prior to agreeing to the receipt of the copies of an assessment that involves the taxonomic classification with the aim of determining whether the CR account with the necessary conditions recommended for the species.
2. Reception: Delivery is made by the state, of a particular or other of otrainstitución in the pickup Area where the specimen of wildlife is manosdel staff in charge of that area, who recorded the entry of the animals by an act derecepción the same that is signed in triplicate, with the purpose of maintaining consistency between CM and the custodian earlier.
3. Rating: When received the specimens we proceed to make unaEvaluación of stress: We proceed to observe if the animal has algunamanifestación of stress in the case of yes, proceed in the proper manner with the intention denominated increase the problem, ensuring that the animal is fed, and providing you with privacy and peace and quiet.In addition, according to the degree of domestication, or reaction to the darkness will determine which procedure to follow.
Physical examination: Once controlled the stress and stabilized the specimen is moved in the area dearribo to the area check (precuarentena) where it will conduct a thorough physical examination the queconsiste in identifying the injury, injuries, lost limbs, deformities, among others. In addition seempieza with the registration of the medical records as well as the individual specimen where constaránlos main data of the same.
Clinical examination: It consists of a series of tests to determine the status and performance of losdiferentes systems that make up the agency, in addition to taking samples and hematologic cooproparasitariaslas that will be analyzed in order to identify possible pathologies caused by bacterial infections, ovirales. At the end of the tests and analysis, and based on the results, the Veterinarian at the center issued a report about the state and future of the animal in addition to prescribe treatments and procedures parasalvaguardar the life of the specimen.
4. Quarantine:
Isolation: During this period, analyzes the behavior of the animal in order to determine (a) its gradode adaptability, (b) if it represents an epidemiological risk for the population, (c) The injury or desordenesconductuales present. The quarantine was carried out to determine the physical state, psychological, nutritional, health, gradode imprint, a level of adaptability; or if it poses risks to the population of the centre, among others. For this information is applicable to observe the following five aspects, taking into account the limitations of space and normal driving in a place of quarantine: locomotion (including the flight), power, relationships, interspecies, interaction with other species and man, the use of shelters and sleeping.
5. Location in captivity: When you have finished the quarantine if the animal is considered suitable will be able to join with the rest of the population of the same species and will be destined to any of the different processes that develop or are planning to develop in the future within the rescue center, among those included: Education, Reproduction, Rehabilitation – Release and Research, or in hopes that the national authorities or provincial already have it. In the case of an animal to be considered a danger to the population of the rescue centre, and may not be suitable for any of the programs this will be isolated and will recommend euthanasia, which is only done with the permission of the authority provincial (Provincial department of Natural Resources of the province of entre Ríos) or National (Secretariat of Environment and Sustainable Development of the Nation).After having passed the stage of quarantine is necessary to decide on the fate of the animal. If the destination of the animal is to remain within the rescue center this will be, properly nurtured, subjected to veterinary controls newspapers, to ensure the life of the specimen until the moment in which the national or provincial authority to take a final decision on the fate of the animal.
6. Feeding and Cleaning of enclosures: Once you set the destination of the animals in the rescue center will be feeding them diets that are designed especially for each species, the same that will address the nutritional requirements of each specimen. The frequency and the amount will also depend on aspects such as: age, health status, characteristics, food, among others. The cleaning of enclosures will take care of the full liberation of the entire area of any element that can be harmful to animals.
Areas of management
AREA OF CIRCULATION: The space used for the movement of personnel between the running of the bulls is demínimo 1m between each running of the bulls which facilitates the cleaning of the area and the safety of the staff.
AREA OF ACCOMMODATION OF THE ANIMALS: The place chosen for the construction of the center of rescue brings together optimal conditions for the management of losespecimenes as this has different habitats (sand dunes, pine forest, gallery forest, plain and lagoon), in addition, it is important to note that dentrodel center is designed controlled environments for the better adaptation of animals.
TEMPERATURE: The temperature daily average ranging between 8 and 26 ° c, so some of the species must remain in enclosures heated during the winter.
LIGHTING: In this case the lighting conditions in the Tropics are highly recommended and are adaptaperfectamente to the needs of the animals. Noise: The Rescue Center is located in a secluded area full of the areas of generation of ruidosaudibles and ultrasonic.
WATER QUALITY: The entire construction of the center takes advantage of the natural wealth of the area without changing it hence all the water used is in perfect condition and does not represent a danger to the health of the animals.
DESIGN OF THE AREAS FOR WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT:
In the case of the rescue center seutilizan three criteria to separate the animals to avoid the risk of any contagion, outbreak deenfermedades between populations managed:
(b) divide-by-species: All animals are separated and located in the running of the bulls porespecies for at least the first period of stay in the center.
c) Time of arrival at the centre: All the animals came to the center must go through zonasespecíficas according to the time of permanence in the same, which shall be determined in accordance wing species, and arranged in the centre according to the convenience of different aspects such as topography or lafacilidad of its construction.

Program of restoration of natural environments in order to interconnect isolated sites (islands).
For years now, decision-makers, scientists, and interested members of the public have recognized that there is an urgent need to conserve and restore forest ecosystems after decades of intensive logging, fire control, road construction, farming, mining, and invasions by exotic species (This consciousness has been shaped in large measure by the national law of native forest law 26.331 and in the case of the province of entre Ríos in the provincial law 10.284), many of the activities listed have been detrimental to the native forests, since they have compacted soils, piped water courses, fragmented forest ecosystems, suppressed the natural regime of the fire etc, which helped the spread of some invasive species, and caused the loss of native species and the consequent loss of natural habitats and their impact on native fauna. Years of efforts by scientists, environmentalists and others have helped to develop the methods and techniques of restoration.
In many countries of the world are currently developing programs of work focused on the restoration of ecosystems instead of in the extraction of resources. The state and the people are working together to restore watersheds that provide drinking water for their communities.
The restoration rational forest requires an integrated, multidisciplinary approach rooted in the biology of conservation and restoration of ecosystems, which includes the preservation and protection of the intact landscapes (particularly those that serve as a reference or reference conditions); allowing the earth to heal itself; and, where necessary, helping to make it through the active restore. Using strategies of reflective employed over time, we can restore the human connection to sustainable with the earth, creating works of restoration high quality, and fostering economies are based on the conservation.
The approach of the principles of restoration in order to restore the ecological integrity is the basis of three basic principles and various early work.
The foundation has focused its efforts to restore in the conformation of runners who join the many islands of native ecosystems whose viability is at risk, the product of many of the factors listed above and because of its dimensions, condemn them to the progressive disappearance. In this context, it seems important to develop a summary of the criteria and principles that guide our restoration plans.
Principles
1. Central tenet of ecological restoration of forests
"To improve the ecological integrity through the restoration of natural processes and resilience"
The restoration of effective forest must have as main objective the restoration of ecosystems in full operation. You can think of the ecological integrity as the "ability of an ecosystem to support and maintain a community of organisms in a balanced and adaptable that have a species composition, diversity and functional organization comparable to that of natural habitats within a region" (Karr and Dudley 1981, Karr 2000). A focus of restoration based on the ecological integrity incorporates the advantages of the historical models, while recognizing that ecosystems are dynamic and change with time. This is fundamental to the development of restorative approaches and is the central tenet to which the rest of the principles and criteria should be associated/connected.
2. Basic principle of Ecological Economics
"To develop and employ the use of economic incentives to protect or restore the ecological integrity"
Forest ecosystems unaltered provide a natural capital, which includes clean air and water, of which depend on all forms of life and all human economies associated with it. The restoration of healthy ecosystems is an investment to recover the natural capital has been reduced by decades of forest degradation. You must create an economic and institutional framework that represents fully these ecological services "non-market" to recognize the value of ecological systems intact and guide restoration efforts of others. As such, the restoration should be to balance the achievement of the objectives of restoration with the cost of the same, at the same time, priority is given to the effectiveness of the environment (Higgs 1997). However, due to the ecological restoration of a forest is a natural process in the long term not always provide short-term benefits and may not pay for itself, you must use a time frame for the economic analysis that recognizes the long-term benefits of the restoration ( for example, clean water, fire regimes restored, etc) must often take precedence over the concerns with respect to the efficiency (Higgs 1997). Therefore, the economic incentives that drive the degradation of the forests must serreemplazados with incentives that promote the protection and restoration of ecological integrity. This last point is partially embodied in the law 26.331.
3. Basic principle on Communities and workforce
"To use or to train a work force of highly skilled and well-paid leave to carry out the restoration"
The ecological restoration should also become an important component of a forest economy that is ecologically healthy and socially just. This approach has the potential to support the long-term viability of the communities within the capacity and resilience of forest ecosystems, while promoting a culture of environmental sustainability. A work force of highly skilled and well-paid is essential for the restoration meets with high environmental standards. The construction of the economy of restoration requires a commitment to the capacity of regional training (multi-jurisdictional and interdisciplinary), the certification of skills, the on-going funding for decades, and the guarantee of the rights of workers to organize and bargain collectively. The process of advancement of ecological restoration must be open, inclusive and transparent, and should help to remove the barriers of class, culture, gender, language, and religion.
Criteria of ecological forest restoration
1. Criteria planning of the restoration project
"Document all of the restoration projects in the context of an assessment of the same with restoration approaches appropriate to relieve the ecological integrity"
All restoration projects should be planned and implemented in the context of an evaluation of the restoration (see Criterion of assessment of forest restoration) and use restorative approaches appropriate. (Criterion Approaches) to restore and enhance the ecological integrity. Because ecological systems are inherently complex and dynamic, it is impossible to accurately predict all the consequences of our actions, even actions to restore well-intentioned. The more controversial or experimental the project, the less should be the scale. If there is a high risk and/or scientific support weak, the burden of proof rests on the proponents of the project. The planning of restoration shall incorporate numerous criteria, which will include the use of the best available science, the monitoring and assessment, regulatory compliance, the prioritization of the objectives of integrity, the recovery of endangered species and the obtaining of adequate funds.
2. Criteria of assessment of forest restoration
"Carry out an assessment of the restoration prior to implementing restoration activities"
You must perform an assessment of restauraciónantes to implement a restoration project or to begin restoration activities. The evaluation is done to determine if they are required restoration activities, and is used to:
1) identify the causes of ecosystem degradation at multiple scales of space, including the ecoregional, middle, and site-specific.
2) determine the appropriate methods to restore degraded systems.
3) create a prioritization spatially explicit restoration needs in spatial scales.
The evaluation and the appropriate action will be followed by a monitoring to measure progress towards the restoration of a degraded system to make it more resistant to shocks and can persist in the absence of a greater human intervention. The evaluation of the restoration shall be done first in the context of an ecoregional assessment widest designed to determine the state and condition of the ecological integrity throughout the ecoregion, and the spatial distribution appropriate to the central reservation, landscape connectivity and areas of restoration necessary to maintain or enhance the integrity ( also see DellaSala and others 1996). You can find examples of criteria ecoregional assessment in Scott and others (1993), Noss and Cooperrider (1994), and Ricketts and others (1999), or get one from regional assessments available published for most of the ecoregions. The inclusion of scales of additional analysis will provide a basis for assessing the cumulative impacts of the proposed projects from the site until the ecoregional level.
3. Criterion of the approach to ecological restoration
"Determining the appropriate use of the protection and restoration active and passive based on the data of the evaluation of the restoration"
– Restoration of the passive: to Stop the activities that have been determined by an evaluation of restoration as responsible for preventing the processes of natural recovery.
– Restoration active: Reintroducing natural processes or species through direct intervention.
The restoration projects will be designed to move the ecosystem towards a higher level of ecological integrity. The restoration plan to choose from for a particular location should be based on the most effective techniques recognized through the evaluation of the restoration, while it favours the methods which are less intrusive or intensive mobilize effectively the area towards the ecological integrity. This approach generally produces the best results for the least amount of time and effort, promoting the efficient use of the resources of restoration. It is important to note that the projects can allow negative impacts in the short term due to which the project will achieve positive long-term outcomes in ecology (for example, removal of roads, barriers to the passage of fish or removal of exotic species ). In some cases, the situation will require to take measures in areas of ecological integrity high. In other cases, the best approach will involve concentrating the efforts of restoration in landscapes more degraded.
Factors such as the support on the broader base among the stakeholders in the restoration and the potential for restoration between the links of ecological areas intact, can lead to conduct restoration efforts that are more time consuming and more costly, but are necessary to achieve the goals of restoration and connection between islands.Evaluations of restoration can be helpful to solve such problems.
Stages of the program
The Foundation has established the following stages in the development and implementation of the project:
- Survey preliminary of the area of interest (Strip of the Province of entre Ríos between the Uruguay river and 100 kmhaciaen interior of the province).
- Preliminary diagnosis of the area under study.
- Detailed survey of the sectors selected for connect.
- Definitive diagnosis of the status of natural resources in the area under study.
- Identification of areas to conserve and/or restore.
- Identification of the owners of the areas to conserve/restore.
- Incorporation of the owners and the community to the process of conservation/restoration.
- Development of a restoration plan by sections prioritized in the diagnosis.
- Development of management plans for native forests included in the provincial law 10.284.
- Development of a unit of production of indigenous trees (there is a supply source of specimens in the state, and such amounts as are necessary to carry out the program).
- Phased implementation of a restoration plan.
The foundation has carried out a preliminary assessment of the forested areas of the spinal on the side of the Uruguay river of the province of entre Rios and has been established will the existence of numerous sectors of native forest associated mainly to gallery forest or marginal and the spinal itself. Many of these sectors (especially those of the spinal) do not comply with the criteria of native forest set forth in the law 26.331. However, the Foundation is allowed to differ from the same in terms of the ecological characteristics typical of the ecoregion of the spinal.
It has also established the high degree of fragmentation of the resource forest native. Currently he is developing the detailed survey of the potential sectors to conserve/restore. In parallel, given the time needed for the implementation of the unit of production of native trees has begun the search for funds for the construction of the same. Below is a summary of the objectives and the characteristics of the project.
Areas of management
Introduction
The term indigenous trees refers to those tree species that grow in the area biogeographical of where they are originating in the evolutionary context of the same. The product of this situation, these species have acquired specific adaptations that allow them to not only develop at the site of origin, but others allow them to interact with the rest of the biological components indigenous to a greater or lesser extent have co-evolved with these species. In this way many of these plants are pollinated by birds and insects, and as a result of their size, provide shelter, food and space for the reproduction of many species of animals, also native. It is for these reasons that it is of vital importance to conserve these species.
The main cause of the reduction of the populations of these plant species is loss of habitat of the use of the lands occupied by agricultural activities and, to a lesser extent the real estate developments.
In this context the FundaciónTekoveMymba will be a nursery of native trees with the object of promoting the use of these species for the purposes of education, conservation, ornamental and awareness-raising campaigns.
Objectives
– Create a gene bank of native tree species whose populations are in decline.
– To generate a space where you can play these species to be distributed free of charge among the population that wish to implement these species.
– Promote educational campaigns that include the implementation of specimens of these species in schools, parks, squares and wooded general public.
– Produce biological resources for the implementation of forest islands in fields of agricultural producers in order to generate suitable environments for the conservation of animal species and native ones.
Methodology
We will collect seeds from different parts of the province of entre Ríos with the aim of establishing a gene bank. Part of these seeds will be germinated under conditions semicontroladas in order to produce seedlings of the species in question. The species that are produced in the first stage of the project will be known commonly with the names of:
- Tembetarí
- Tacuaruzú
- Pindó
- Native willow or colorado
- Higuerón or agarrapalo
- Quebrachillo
- Viraró
- Ombú
- Laurel
- Timbó colorado
- Ibirá Pitá
- Lapachillo
- Ceibo
- Lecherón or curupí
- Sarandí white
- Molle
- Coronillo
- Guayabo
- Cannelloni
- Lapacho of missions
- Alder river
- Timbó white
- Sarandí colorado
- Yatay
- Caranday
- Mbocayá
- Quebracho blanco
- Ñandubay
The seedlings obtained will then be planted in a pot and moved to a sector of greenhouses in order to obtain copies of at least one meter of height to be the minimum size of the copies that will be distributed and/or implemented in order to meet the proposed objectives.
Expected products
It is expected to have produced at least 10,000 copies of native trees over the first 4 years of the project. Half of the specimens will be used in the project of distribution, and planted specimens with schools and as part of the public trees. Copies remaining will be implemented as islands in areas agreed with the owners of the fields.

Environmental education program
As part of its education program, the Foundation carries forward from 2017, a series of talks from disclosure to the general public and for primary and secondary schools, as well as trainings for agents of the State, Municipal and Provincial, advice to public and private bodies on environmental education, conservation, resource management and sustainable development, and production of biological material, audiovisual and documentary about natural resources to be used in the curricula of primary, secondary, and university students.
Introduction
(a) Cycle of talks, outreach and training to the general public.
In the framework of the program "YOU CAN'T PROTECT WHAT YOU don'T KNOW," the Foundation has developed a series of courses of disclosure to the general public with the aim of informing the attendees of the most important characteristics of the biological communities of the province of entre Ríos and the main natural ecosystems of the Republic of Argentina. It has also implemented a series of training courses for the public in the framework of the program "Care for the environment is everyone's responsibility". These courses are aimed at people who have interests in certain environmental aspects in particular and aims to create nuclei of partners on various topics that the foundation believes keys in its strategy for the protection and conservation of natural resources.
(b) a series of talks in primary and secondary schools.
In the formal education program and under the belief that raising the awareness of young people is the best strategy to generate significant changes in the long term, we have developed a series of lectures that are taught in different educational establishments of the region. In the talks, is taught to the students, the importance of the natural resources of the area they live in and the need to protect themselves in order to minimize the environmental damage associated with human activities.
c) Training for agents of the state, provincial and municipal levels.
The state in its various account levels with different government departments in charge of environmental problems, ranging from control of industrial discharges to the use and handling of agrochemicals, or from environmental education to the control of the traffic of fauna and flora. In this wide range of activities, the training of the agents of the state and plays a key role.
On the other hand, we are in an era where knowledge advances and changes almost on a daily basis and it is extremely difficult to keep updated. Taking into account this situation, the foundation will implement a series of training courses for agents of the state with a view in a first instance to train on the natural resources of the province and in the second stage on environmental pollution, its effects and how to control it.
d) Advisory services to public and private agencies on environmental education, conservation, resource management, and sustainable development.
The environment is a diffuse concept that can only be addressed interdisciplinary way. The feature of diffuse almost any decision that is implemented in both private and state has some degree of effect on the same. The look interdisciplinary is difficult to achieve in many situations by multiple factors. In this context, the foundation is implementing through agreements and contracts to the formation of a group of interdisciplinary environmental that can provide guidance to both public entities and private that request its assistance.
Also implement a plan of survey of the environment of the province in order to detect conflicts and environmental problems with the object of putting in knowledge of the authorities in such situations.
(e) Production of biological material, audiovisual and documentary about natural resources, conservation, sustainable development to be used in the curricula of primary, secondary, and university students.
On issues related to the formal education, the foundation has developed its strategy of working on a series of premises simple and concrete:
• The current educational structure shown to have serious shortcomings as evidenced in the results of external evaluations conducted to the students of different educational levels.
• The ultimate goal of all our educational strategy is oriented to meaningful learning critical.
Based on eleven principles according to Moreira, 2000
1. Principle of prior knowledge. We learn from what we already know. To be critical of any knowledge, of any concept, any statement, in the first place, the subject has to learn significantly and, for that, your prior knowledge is, in isolation, the most important variable.
2. Principle of the social interaction and questioning. To teach/learn questions instead of answers. A teaching focused on the interaction between teacher and student, emphasizing the exchange of questions tends to be critical and to inspire meaningful learning critical. “When you learn to ask questions – relevant and appropriate substantive – they learn how to learn and no one will keep us from learning what we want”.
3. Principle of non-centralization in the text book. The use of documents, articles, and other educational materials. The diversity of educational materials. This is not, properly, to exclude the book teaching of the school, but to consider it only as one among several other educational materials.
4. Principle of the learner as recipient/renderer. The apprentice is a perceiver/renderer, that is, perceives the world and what it represents: everything that a student receives, perceives it.
5. Principle of knowledge as a language. Learn it in a critical way is to perceive that new language and a new way of perceiving the world.
6. Principle of consciousness semantics. The meaning is in people, not in the words.
7. Principle of learning by the error. Look for systematically the mistake is to think critically, it is learning to learn, is to learn to critically rejecting certainties, facing the error as something natural, and learning through its overcoming.
8. Beginning of unlearning. It involves learning to distinguish between what is relevant and what is irrelevant in the prior knowledge and get rid of the irrelevant, that is, desaprenderlo.
9. Principle of uncertainty of knowledge. Our vision of the world is built from the definitions that we believe, of the questions that we ask and the metaphors we use.
10. Principle of non-use of the whiteboard, the active participation of the student, the diversity of teaching strategies. The use of different perspectives and approaches to learning that involve the active participation of the student and, in fact, promote an education centered on the student it is essential to facilitate a meaningful learning critical.
11. Beginning of the abandonment of the narrative. Let the student talk. Teaching is learner-centered, with the teacher as a mediator, is teaching in which the student speaks the most, and the teacher talks less.
In this context, we will work on the development of educational materials of different features but always oriented to the exploration of the topics by the students. For example, the audio or the text will be developed for students to ask questions. That is to say problems and propose solutions to be sought in the class through the interaction between students and with the teacher. We also produce specific content for the teachers, so that they have the tools to be able to manage the class and direct it towards the objectives of the same.
This strategy also implies a change in the way in which to develop the assessments and therefore we will also work on the development of a strategy evaluatoria of these activities.
Like everything change requires training, we will also work on the development of materials and strategies for the training of teachers.

Breeding program and management of native species with special emphasis on threatened or in danger of local extinction and regional
This program is active from the year 2016.
The same draws of the rescued animals who for different reasons were not able to be re-introduced to the works ex situ and released for the tasks in situ.
Introduction
We work in the conservation of native species in situ, complemented with ex situ programs for wildlife populations that are victims of human pressures of different types that threaten or question their viability in nature and (by prior scientific analysis) intervention is required, through the development and management controlled breeding programs and reintroduction of the species in our rescue center, and management.
All of our programs are in partnership with actors in different social scale so that the diffusion and impact extension is greater.
Some of our projects
1. BIRDS OF THE ECO REGION OF THE SPINAL AND FORESTS IN GALLERIES:
This project of the FOUNDATION TEKOVE MYMBA is formed by two components at different scales of work: The direct relationship with the actors of the society that is being evaluated are in close relation with the status of the species or their habitats, to know and to mitigate the negative effects on it.
Concrete actions and direct with the species, such as censuses, monitoring, rehabilitation of the individuals received and classification according to the destination you can follow the animal according to their status and condition of health, and ecological, may form part of campus for a variety of purposes that range from community outreach, reproductive ex-situ or for potential reintroduction in nature within the areas of the FOUNDATION.
2. REHABILITATION AND REINTRODUCTION OF BIRDS OF PREY:
In the recent years are becoming more and more frequent cases of specimens of birds, diurnal birds of prey (accipitriformes and falconiformes) and night (strigiformes) that are affected by environmental contingencies and the actions of man. The rehabilitation of each individual is invaluable for the conservation of their species, and for this the program consists fundamental stages:
I. Collection of the animal and evaluation of health status
II. Installation and quarantine of the animal in the area recommended to facilitate your recovery and pass on to the extension program, ex situ breeding or rehabilitation and reintroduction in the wild.
III. Extension project: the animal once recovered and assessed their inability to be an exemplary player and/or be part of a potential re-introduction is derived to become a part of specimens used by techniques of falconry demonstrations and learning of the commune.
IV. Project of ex-situ Breeding and re-introduction into their habitat: when the clinical examination of the animal indicated as suitable potentially as exemplary player or that it is plausible for a possible release, the individual spends the area demanejo project of breeding and reintroduction, where it forms the facilities intended for that purpose and which are in charge of highly qualified and experienced in this type of tasks.
Your help is important
Carrying out our daily work requires important investments in infrastructure, feed, health and logistics
for the welfare of our animals. Your collaboration is essential for us to move forward.
