In commemoration of World Environment Day, students and teachers from the Bachelor's Degree in Environmental Management Administration at UMECIT, Chitré Campus, participated in a reforestation day together with volunteers from Empresas Ricardo Pérez SA, reaffirming the commitment of both organizations to sustainability and environmental conservation.

This initiative represents a valuable alliance between academia and the private business sector to promote concrete actions aimed at urban sustainability, responsible waste management, and mitigating the carbon footprint in business operations.

The event aimed to reclaim degraded green spaces, contribute to the restoration of local ecosystems, and strengthen environmental mitigation efforts to benefit the country's sustainable development. During the activity, students, teachers, and staff from Ricardo Pérez worked together on planting and conservation efforts, demonstrating the positive impact of collaboration among different sectors of society.

In addition to contributing to the improvement of the natural environment, the experience allowed students to apply knowledge acquired in their academic training and strengthen skills related to environmental management, social responsibility and teamwork.

UMECIT thanks Empresas Ricardo Pérez SA for providing the opportunity to participate in and support its planting and environmental mitigation programs, contributing to building a more sustainable future for present and future generations.

For UMECIT, preserving the environment is a shared responsibility that requires the commitment and action of everyone.
