The Sal a Pajarear project (Go Birding) in the Yucatán peninsula seeks to promote a conservation ethic through birdwatching, by creating a consciousness among children and adults living in rural communities on the importance of protecting natural habitat. It involves teaching volunteer instructors living or working in a rural community how to teach children about birds. They commit to taking the children on a bird walk at least twice a month in addition to teaching-learning sessions on biodiversity conservation that motivate them to learn more about their birds and natural surroundings. The data collected on the bird walks is entered into e-bird.
