What is the "Programa de Vigilantes Ecológicos"?

The "Programa de Vigilantes Ecológicos" (Program of Ecological Vigilantes) is a program developed and implemented in various countries to protect and preserve the environment. It involves training and hiring individuals to serve as ecological monitors or guards in different natural areas, such as national parks, protected reserves, and wildlife sanctuaries. These "vigilantes" are responsible for ensuring the enforcement of environmental regulations, preventing illegal activities like hunting, deforestation, and pollution, and raising awareness among visitors about the importance of conservation. Through their presence and vigilance, these eco-guards contribute to safeguarding the biodiversity and ecological balance of sensitive ecosystems.
