Raising Awareness about Forest Conservation

In this Creative Advocacy Practicum, 105 families from San Antonio Yaró, Nicaragua worked together to protect their water source through forest restoration, creative expression, and community-driven initiatives. With deforestation from agricultural expansion threatening their drinking water, residents, students, and local leaders organized awareness campaigns, planted trees, and led cleanups. They also painted a mural to highlight the link between forests and water. Displayed in a central location, the mural continues to inspire action and strengthen the community's commitment to conservation.
