Havana : An extensive technical-scientific and social programme is being developed in a metropolitan park here, as part of Cuba's current efforts to promote a culture of environmental preservation.
Yosiel Marrero, an environmental expert here, said the project is approaching completion thanks to an integration of work on the environment and community education.
An interesting offshoot of the plan's research results has been solutions to local problems like neighbourhood sewage treatment, he noted.
The creation of urban habitat areas have allowed for the arrival of bird and reptile species that had not been seen around the city in years, Marrero pointed out.
"Plus, the extensive repercussion of our experiences in Latin America and the Caribbean has facilitated signing work contracts with green organizations, universities, and mayoralties," he said.
