Join EcoViva in Celebrating our 15th Anniversary

 

 

EcoViva and our partners in El Salvador, La Coordinadora del Bajo Lempa y Bahia de Jiquilisco and the Mangrove Association, have come a long way since the founding of each of our organizations in the mid-1990's.  Based on years of establishing a grassroots model of local sustainable development, our partners are now leveraging this experience in pushing their government to adopt new national standards in environmental protection.

 

As EcoViva and the Mangrove Association turn 15 years old since the official founding of both organizations in 1996, we would like to invite you to join us in a Quinceañera celebration so we can lay the foundation for the next 15 years of visionary work. Quinceañeras are celebrated throughout Latin America to honor a girl’s fifteenth birthday and mark a coming of age.
