In a simple and accessible way, they learn about protected species such as sea turtles, their life cycle, the challenges they face, and the human activities that impact the marine environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The activities encourage students to reflect on how their own everyday choices can contribute to protecting the sea. The aim is not only to inform, but also to cultivate environmental responsibility and a meaningful connection with nature. The educational programmes are coordinated by the Department of Fisheries and Marine Research (DFMR) and are offered to schools free of charge by staff from DFMR, Terra Cypria, and CYMEPA (partners of the \u201cPandoteira\u201d project).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe that meaningful change begins with knowledge, and that children who understand nature today are the citizens who will protect it tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"451\" data-id=\"6196\" src=\"https:\/\/terracypria.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/fokies2-1024x451.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/terracypria.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/fokies2-1024x451.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/terracypria.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/fokies2-300x132.jpg 300w, https:\/\/terracypria.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/fokies2-768x338.jpg 768w, https:\/\/terracypria.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/fokies2-600x264.jpg 600w, https:\/\/terracypria.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/fokies2.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"449\" data-id=\"6199\" src=\"https:\/\/terracypria.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/fokies-1024x449.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/terracypria.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/fokies-1024x449.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/terracypria.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/fokies-300x132.jpg 300w, https:\/\/terracypria.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/fokies-768x337.jpg 768w, https:\/\/terracypria.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/fokies-600x263.jpg 600w, https:\/\/terracypria.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/fokies.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"449\" data-id=\"6202\" src=\"https:\/\/terracypria.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/pandotira-1024x449.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/terracypria.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/pandotira-1024x449.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/terracypria.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/pandotira-300x132.jpg 300w, https:\/\/terracypria.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/pandotira-768x337.jpg 768w, https:\/\/terracypria.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/pandotira-600x263.jpg 600w, https:\/\/terracypria.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/pandotira.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We continue to actively participate in environmental education initiatives that raise awareness and bring students&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6196,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6195","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/terracypria.org\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/terracypria.org\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/terracypria.org\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/terracypria.org\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/terracypria.org\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6195"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/terracypria.org\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6195\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/terracypria.org\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6196"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/terracypria.org\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/terracypria.org\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/terracypria.org\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
