As part of International Women’s Day, various natural spaces in the city have prepared a special program of environmental activities for 8M in Mexico City.
The program seeks to recognize the role of women in caring for the environment and building a more sustainable future.
Throughout March , there will be workshops, guided walks, tours, talks, and community activities in places surrounded by nature such as Chapultepec, Ecoguardas, Yautlica, Acuexcomatl, and the Tlalpan Forest.
Several of the activities are free, while others are included with the admission ticket to the venues.
The idea is to create meeting spaces to reflect, learn, and share experiences about science, environmental culture, and women’s participation in the conservation of the planet.
