Native Plant Conservation Campaign News: This is Latino Conservation Week!

July 17, 2017

Latino Conservation Week is July 15 – 23, 2017 <http://t.ymlp247.net/qeyadaebmbjaxabjjaxabe/click.php> . Latino Conservation Week was created to support the Latino community getting into the outdoors and in protecting natural resources. The goals of Latino Conservation Week are:

During this week, community, non-profit, faith-based, and government organizations and agencies hold events throughout the country. From hiking and camping to community roundtables and film screenings, these activities promote conservation efforts in the community, and provide an opportunity for Latinos to show their support for permanently protecting our land, water, and air. 

There has been tremendous growth in activities since Latino Conservation Week launched in 2014:

*	2014: 9 events
*	2015: 52 events
*	2016: 109 events

Latino Conservation Week has also resulted in broader coverage of the Latino role in conservation in both English and Spanish media. It’s led to recognition from local, state and national elected officials of the important role Latinos play as stewards. Latino Conservation Week has highlighted the Latino community’s passion for the outdoors.

Events can take any shape. It could be a private event for members of a congregation. It could be a community-wide public event at a nearby National Park or Wildlife Refuge. It could be a screening of the new film “Milk & Honey” with a discussion on the importance of the Colorado River.

By participating in Latino Conservation Week: Disfrutando y Conservando Nuestra Tierra 2017, your organization will be joining Latinos across the nation to support the protection of our natural resources.
