Alliances / Cooperation

Besides developing studies aimed at teaching about the natural richness that develops in the Reserve and its surrounding areas, we are open to establishing alliances or co-ops with researchers, institutions or external organizations that are interested in joining us to explore the diverse educational possibilities this unexplored area can offer.

This is the way we have and/or are conducting studies in conjunction or in cooperation with:

CMMR Leviathan | www.cmmrleviathan.org
