Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

Chaa Creek's Eco Kids arrived yesterday, and today is their first full day of fun and learning.  Emir Pineda's submission is the last Eco Kid essay, and he'll surely be a great park ranger after being an Eco Kid.  Have fun!

"Since I like hiking, I think a good way to contribute in the preservation of our forest, birds and marine life is to become a Park Ranger.  Being a Park Ranger will give me the opportunity to help avoid activities like what happened at Nohmul and help to stop the distraction of endangered species of birds and other animals.  I will help save the green parrot, the scarlet macaw, the toucan, rose wood, mahogany tree and many more."

Rember Cerón has an essay submission for this year’s Chaa Creek Eco Kids Summer Camp.

"The rainforest is home to numerous species such as The Tapir, Scarlet Macaw, Toucan, etc.  It is the home of a wide variety of flora and fauna. In the anxiety of developing the world, and expanding to provide dwellings, humans are destroying nature.  When someone builds a house or a building, they destroy many animal species and plants; thus, contributing to the destruction of the rainforest.  Another way that humans are destroying the forests is through fires.  Being careless can cause any forest fire and so it destroys nature.  The only way how the rainforest can develop or grow more is by us taking care of it and planting more trees."
