The intention of the project is to raise awareness among the children and youth of the
city of La Paz about the environment. This was possible through the implementation of
exploratory and simulated practices with respect to the habitat and the biological
information on aquatic and coastal species of ecological importance that are distributed
along the Gulf of California and the adjacent coastal zone. The target population was
children and youth from the city of La Paz, Baja California Sur that attend municipality
organized pro-science events. The selection of species with any status of protection was
made according to existing wildlife, belonging to the vertebrate groups from the NOM
059-ECOL-2010. Information collected related to the bibliography of each and every one
of the selected species and the elaboration of the registries, and the visual and tactile
components can be found in special containers called “Learning Chests.” A total of 162
species and subspecies were selected: 24 fishes; 4 amphibians; 32 reptiles; 56 birds, and
46 mammals. At the moment, the first “Learning Chests” have been equipped for the
Californian Least Tern (Sternula antillarum browni), a subspecies of the non-endemic
coastal bird which is subject to special protection. The actions taken during the various
stages of the project provided an opportunity for librarians to present skills for
communication and information management within the educational context, and to
promote knowledge of the participating groups through these important interactive
activities.
