Todos los derechos reservados. www.feriadeproyectosrotarycolombia.org In Colombia in recent years the tourist activity of bird watching has been carried out successfully, and it has been released from the promotion of the region as a tourist destination. Here in the Coffe Axis region is a constantly growing tourist activity and is carried out in rural areas. Also, in recent years there has been a dilemma for young people in rural areas when choosing between countryside or city?, opting in the end for the option of migrating to the city, abandoning its territory and cultural identity. According to the Latin American and Caribbean Demographic Center in its 2017 study, 30% of the country’s inhabitants lived in rural areas and, according to estimates for 2050, only 13% of Colombians will continue to do so (Semana Rural, 2019). This project will impact 15 young people where they acquire tools to develop a profession in the rural area as a future bird watching guide, so that they contribute to the economic development of the municipality. Beneficiaries: Direct Beneficiaries Indirect Beneficiaries This project is aimed to 15 young people in the rural or urban sector of the municipality of Buenavista who range from the ages of 14 to 28 years with an education level not higher than basic secondary. 15 families (60 people), friends (257 young people from the municipality), and people from their social environment (988 inhabitants of the municipality). According to Dane, 2018. Activities to Develop: (800 Characters) The project was developed with the following modules for 9 months (distributed for one session per week from 2 to 3 hours) ● Recognition of its regional environment: history of the population of its territory, uses and use of natural resources, analysis of flora and fauna and family history. ● Birds’ immersion: introduction to birds’ generalities regarding their anatomical aspects and reproduction and their classification into the avifauna of Colombia. ● Ecosystems and habitat: We define what is an ecosystem, characteristics and behavior of birds in it. ● Citizen science: we learn from citizen science in bird watching and management platforms for conservation. ● Bird watching tools: Use of equipment used in bird watching. ● Technique in nature photography: introduction to the visual disposition to the image; The technique: light, subject, composition, distances, depth of field; Corporality and attitude; cameras and lenses. 3. SUSTAINABILITY (800 Characters) Copyright © 2021 Feria de Proyectos Rotary Colombia. Todos los derechos reservados. www.feriadeproyectosrotarycolombia.org According to a 2016 study by the Conservation Strategy Fund and Audubon, it is estimated that bird watching could generate up to 8,500 jobs in rural areas in Colombia. This is due to the potential of the country to occupy for 5 consecutive years the first place in record of species numbers; however, we found a failure in the training of the personnel to supply this demand. We have chosen an incipient municipality in nature tourism as Buenavista to generate in young people new skills for life as future "Ecotourism guides" that can apply in their free time generating an economic benefit for them and their families, while fostering in each person a sense of belonging to this territory and towards preservation. To achieve this, we initially required teaching a correct introduction to bird watching as a profession and then generating partnerships with other companies to generate job opportunities in bird watching. 4.
