Published February 12, 2026, 09:39

The CYMEPA's "Forest Bureau of Investigation" (FBI) project is entering its implementation phase with the delivery of educational equipment to teachers. FBI aims to educate students about the environment through direct contact with the forest and experiential learning, rather than traditional teaching. CYMEPA sought to create a meaningful, experiential, and applicable program, which was internationally recognized. The backpacks delivered to teachers contain tools that transform students into small researchers, encouraging observation, analysis, and curiosity. The project places particular emphasis on the role of teachers, providing them with structured tools and guidance. This initiative, implemented in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Athletics and Youth, aims to cultivate students' environmental awareness and teach them to love and protect the natural environment.
