CEDO Wins Environmental Merit AwardOn June 5, in a ceremony to commemorate World Environment Day, CEDO received the Award of Ecological Merit (el Premio al Mérito Ecológico) from the president of Mexico, Felipe Calderón, and the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT). CEDO was selected as a winner in the non-formal environmental education category, in recognition of all the education projects CEDO has undertaken and lead for nearly 30 years. This is a huge honor, so thank you to everyone who has been involved with CEDO and its education programs over the years. * Click on the photos below for a more detailed look.
In the ceremony, Peggy Turk Boyer, CEDO's Executive Director, and Paloma Valdivia, CEDO's Environmental Education Coordiantor, received the PME from the president of Mexico, Felipe Calderón. CEDO, along with 5 other winners, received a diploma, a presea and the amount of $ 75,000.00 MN, to continue with our educational projects. CEDO's educational programs have served the conservation needs in the Northern Gulf region and have tried to develop models of sustainable development. These projects have involved all kinds of actors, from students, teachers, fishermen and oyster cooperatives, among others. Our annual environmental contests and the screening of eco-adventure and environmental films are just two examples of the programs currently undertaken by CEDO to enhance the appreciation of local natural resources among the people of Puerto Peñasco and other coastal communities.
Thank you to everyone who made this possible!
