These partners are collaborating to develop and disseminate active teaching and learning modules on topics related to protected area management, forest management and certification, water resource management, and public-private partnerships to improve waste management. The overarching goal of the partnership is to increase the number of trained educators and practitioners in biodiversity conservation and sustainable development in key countries around the world. In December 2003, the partners held their first module development workshop, which received significant print and television coverage in the Santa Cruz media. In March 2004, the Bolivian partners conducted training for more than 40 university professors on the use of existing materials from the Network of Conservation Educators and Practitioners on biodiversity conservation. The partners will conduct national and international workshops to showcase, share, and evaluate the newly developed educational modules. A fourth Bolivian university, the Universidad Mayor San Simón, recently became active in partnership activities.
