With the participation of the University for Andean Development and the primary school “Corazon de Jesus”, we are carrying out a project on Biodiversity. The project aims at raising awareness among youths about the importance and ongoing loss of biodiversity on this planet. To visualize the aspect of biodiversity we use a large amount of different and rare pea varieties. Each schoolboy and girl receive 10 seeds of a specific pea variety that they plant and monitor. The results of each pupil are shared with pupils from other schools across the globe. The project is coordinated by “The Court of Eden” in The Netherlands.
