By Richard Amable | PUnderstanding how adults prefer to learn can provide much needed information for community groups as well as professional organizations. A full week interpretative birding class was presented to a group of non-traditional students in a community workshop environment. The participants experienced both traditional lectures on birds and their habitats as well as bird walks, which provided an opportunity for inquiry and participatory education. At the end of the course, the participants were surveyed to learn their preferences for education. The participatory education and inquiry was the preferred method of learning for this group on community learners.
By Ana Amable | The Women Birders is a program created to empower women in the good ecological practices of birding & birdwatching in Peru and Bolivia. Through this program the women in the community will be able to increase their leadership and knowledge in conservation and ecotourism. Also, this will make a difference in their communities as they can represent their communities and will lead the changes in local conservation behavior. Finally, it will benefit directly to the conservation of local birds.
