We offer wide variety of free environmental activities for kindergarten children, school children and the general public in Leon.

Conservation of the tropical dry forest in Nicaragua

The tropical dry forest used to cover most of the pacific coast of Nicaragua, today this forest is almost extinct due to massive deforestation. SONATI work to protect the tropical dry forest by creating private reserves together with rural communities.
