Mellíferas del Cerrato
A Solidarity Project in the mountains of Spain, supported by the beekeeping expertise of Pollinator Ambassadors
Project Year: 2020
What is Mellíferas del Cerrato
Mellíferas del Cerrato was an EU-funded Solidarity Project in the mountains of northern Spain, led by a group of six young men from Castilla y León. The initiative was born out of their concern for the decline of pollinators in their local ecosystem and their desire to take action. The group aimed to raise awareness about pollinators’ struggles and slow the migration of youth from rural areas by offering a sustainable path to environmental stewardship.
Their Solution
Through workshops and presentations, Melliferas del Cerrato informs students and the general public about pollinators, so they can know and understand their struggles in the ecosystem. Also, they try to slow down the mobilization of youth from the countryside. Through agricultural and ecosystem services-based education, they inspire other young people to find their dedication in a rural environment.
Key Achievements
- Engaged youth in pollinator conservation efforts and inspired a new generation of environmental leaders in rural Spain.
- Delivered workshops and presentations to educate students and the general public on the importance of pollinators and the challenges they face.
- Provided coaching in sustainable beekeeping, project management, and financing, helping the group build long-term sustainability for their initiative.
