Güira of Mamena won the headquarters of the provincial Act for June 5, the world’s environmental day, thanks to its continued work in environmental projects to preserve life, nature and resources such as living, Mangrove Basal and my coast.
But the activities to celebrate the date of the municipalities, according to Dairelis Kessell Hernández, will be extended to the provincial delegation of this Ministry.
Proposed actions include the cleanliness and sanitation of beaches El Salado and Banes in Caimito, as well as culture and sports workers.
Similarly, the call for competitions on the protection of biodiversity and protected areas, whose date takes place on 22 May, and for international day to protect the mangle ecosystem, on 26 July, was launched among other motivations.
The CITMA provincial delegation also recommends that a circle of interest be created in agrao -science in Guanajay pioneer palace and the presentation of local development projects to produce cola and animal feed from the Tenería waste.
Educational talks in schools in favor of forest care, the future colloquium we take green and sustainable in the middle of the Convention of the Anap Niceto Pérez, as well as planting a tree for World Day to fight deserts and drought in Bauta and the summer course of training on environmental initiatives, some of the actions planned until July.

time.news Editor: Welcome, Dr. Aris Thorne, expert in environmental sustainability and international development.Thank you for joining us to discuss the environmental initiatives happening in Cuba, especially those highlighted around World Surroundings Day. The province of Artemisa seems to be making strides; what are your initial thoughts on Güira de Melena being recognized for its efforts?
Dr. Aris Thorne: It’s incredibly encouraging to see local communities like Güira de Melena recognized for their proactive environmental projects. This kind of bottom-up approach, were local efforts are acknowledged and celebrated, is crucial for fostering a genuine commitment to environmental stewardship.Focusing on the specific context – preserving life, nature, and vital resources like the living Mangrove Basal and the coastal areas – illustrates a targeted and effective strategy.
Time.news Editor: The article also mentions extended activities across municipalities, including beach clean-ups and sanitation projects. What’s the significance of these kinds of grassroots movements?
Dr. Aris Thorne: Beach clean-ups and sanitation activities might seem simple,but they’re incredibly powerful. They raise awareness about pollution, promote community engagement, and directly improve the local environment. Engaging culture and sports workers, as mentioned, broadens the reach and demonstrates that environmental duty extends beyond just specialist fields. It’s about making it accessible and relevant for everyone. Think of it as building public awareness, brick by brick.
Time.news Editor: There’s mention of competitions focused on biodiversity and protected areas, particularly concerning the protection of mangroves. Why is mangrove conservation so crucial?
Dr. Aris Thorne: mangrove ecosystems are powerhouses of biodiversity and play a vital role in coastal protection. They act as natural barriers against storm surges, prevent erosion, provide crucial habitat for countless species, and are meaningful carbon sinks, helping mitigate climate change. Encouraging awareness and action around their protection,particularly through competitions,is essential for long-term sustainability. Celebrating the International Day for the Protection of the Mangrove Ecosystem highlights Cuba’s dedication to a crucial global issue.
Time.news Editor: Shifting gears, the article presents interesting local development projects, specifically using waste from the Tenería to produce cola and animal feed. What are your thoughts on this innovative approach to waste management?
Dr. Aris Thorne: Circular economy principles are at the heart of sustainable development,and this project exemplifies that perfectly. Turning waste into valuable resources like cola and animal feed reduces pollution, minimizes reliance on external resources, and creates economic opportunities within the community.This type of innovative thinking—looking at waste management as a resource challenge rather of a pollution one—is exactly what we need globally. Creating a circle of interest in agrao-science ensures that these ideas keep being developed, through the pioneers of the future.
Time.news Editor: what practical advice can you offer our readers, inspired by Cuba’s initiatives, to promote environmental stewardship in their own communities?
Dr.Aris Thorne: Start small, but start somewhere. Organize a local clean-up, advocate for environmental education in schools, support local businesses committed to sustainability, and learn about the specific environmental challenges facing your region. Encourage responsible consumption and find creative ways to reduce waste. Remember, even small actions, when multiplied across a community, can have a significant impact. Also, get informed. Follow the Convention of the Anap Niceto Pérez, in order to increase your knowledge on sustainable practices! Look for ways to get involved in citizen science projects and advocate for policies that protect the environment. The key is to make environmental responsibility a part of your daily life and to inspire others to do the same. You too can create your vrey own environmental project.
