They were also taught about the way the palm reproduces and that this is a dioecious species, that is, having both male and female individuals, (which can be differentiated by their flowers), facts that many people do not know.NGO Yoluka and Project Wildlife (Proyecto Vida Silvestre) hope that the nursery project "Harmony" will become a core education for those living in the area, whose active cooperation helps in the restoration and protection of Orinoquía landscape. zrios@wcs.org Tue, 20 Oct 2015 17:37:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:8288 https://colombia.wcs.org/es-es/WCS-Colombia/News/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/8273/ORGANIC-FERTILIZERS-BASE-FOR-LIFE.aspx#Comments 0 https://colombia.wcs.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=5759&ModuleID=11330&ArticleID=8273 https://colombia.wcs.org:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=8273&PortalID=113&TabID=5759 https://colombia.wcs.org/es-es/WCS-Colombia/News/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/8273/ORGANIC-FERTILIZERS-BASE-FOR-LIFE.aspx Training workshops offered by the Orinoquía Biodiversa Foundation in the context of the Project Wildlife (Vida Silvestre) The communities of the middle and lower basin of the Bita river, in the villages of La Esmeralda and El Merey, municipality of Puerto Carreño (Vichada), were the beneficiaries of this activity.
