EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

RESERVA BRASIL’s EDUCATION DEPARTMENT develops and supports educative activities related to the environment, fostering knowledge and proper scientific divulgation to the general public. 

Our educational work is to sensitize human beings to various environmental questions, demystifying Nature in order to make students more familiar with Nature, therefore interacting more harmoniously with animals and plants.
                
The Reserva Brasil believes that a better knowledge on Nature and an actual contact with animals and plants could help integrate humans into the environment in a more sustainable way.
