One of the compounding issues for conservation in Paraguay is the lack of knowledge of the importance of nature amongst the population. Fundaci\u00f3n Para La Tierra (PLT) began the country\u2019s first Eco-Club program, \u201cVoces de la Naturaleza\u201d (Voices of Nature), in 2016. Three of the curriculums participatory lessons focus on primate conservation. These lessons formed the basis of PLT\u2019s Atlantic Forest education programme in 2018 when the team began visiting 22 schools around San Rafael (Tekoha Guasu). To date 26 schools (1,500+ children) across two political departments and four districts have participated in this programme which is now entering its 6th year. The biggest challenges have included the COVID-19 pandemic and the logistics and costs involved in reaching rural and remote schools. Though it is too soon to record observable behavioural change ongoing monitoring over the six year period indicates that children remember the information gained through the participatory methods for several years. We believe that the main reasons for the success of this programme are the collaborations that we have built with the teachers of the schools based on open communication and mutual respect. Though costs can be an issue when beginning, or running, a long-term project we recommend that potential educators not be put off trying and that a lot of good can be achieved with a small amount of funding.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1163\/14219980-bja10039","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,8]],"date-time":"2024-10-08T06:57:25Z","timestamp":1728370645000},"page":"401-410","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Primate focused conservation education in Paraguay: Doing something Para La Tierra"],"prefix":"10.1163","volume":"95","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0278-9071","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Rebecca\u00a0L.","family":"Smith","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Fundaci\u00f3n Para La Tierra, Centro IDEAL, Pilar, 2800, \u00d1eembuc\u00fa, Paraguay"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jorge\u00a0Dami\u00e1n","family":"Ayala Santacruz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fundaci\u00f3n Para La Tierra, Centro IDEAL, Pilar, 2800, \u00d1eembuc\u00fa, Paraguay"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","reference":[{"author":"Calabrese\u00a0MG","unstructured":"Calabrese\u00a0MG, Salinas Romero\u00a0S, Cassacia Ibarrola\u00a0C, Morinigo\u00a0L, Alvarenga\u00a0M, Da Ponte\u00a0E (2021).
