As a state of Central America Costa Rica faces both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Landscape is varies from volcanic area to beaches; and vegetation is very plentiful. With regard to conservation Costa Rica is one of the first countries in the world. It has been a world leader in conservation policies with protected areas that encompass over 25 percent of its total landmass – the highest in the world. Birdlife is abundant with many endemic species.

NEWS invites to a presentation by Corris Kaapehi, Edu Ventures Ombombo Mobile Classroom – Environmental Education on Wheels.
The lack of appreciation for the environment and limited career opportunities for Namibian youth prompted a group of nature conservationists from the National Museum to establish a mobile classroom focusing on environmental education in the country. The EduMobile programme is a mobile environmental-awareness program tailored to meet Namibia’s specific environmental concerns such as climate change and biodiversity loss in rural areas. The mobile classroom, which will be called the “Ombombo”, meaning butterfly, will focus on educating learners from Grades 8 to 12 in rural schools on environmental issues.
