The initiative will feature amplification cones to listen to the sounds of nature, magnifying glasses to discover the wonders of the fungi kingdom, and telescopic viewers, among other museum elements to highlight the cultural and natural heritage of the Maipo River Wetland Sanctuary.
The first 12 stations of the “Maipo River Wetland: Museography on a Socioecosystem” project were inaugurated. This initiative, led by the Cosmos Foundation and funded through the “Public Science” competition of the Ministry of Science, Technology, Knowledge, and Innovation, seeks to raise awareness of the cultural and natural heritage of this ecosystem and enhance the educational and interpretive experience of wetland visitors through graphic and interactive elements.
“We are delighted to be able to inaugurate this first phase, which moves us toward our goal of strengthening the connection between the community and this important protected ecosystem. Through this project, we seek to generate experiences that leave a significant mark, inspiring all residents and visitors to protect this environment so that more people in the future can witness its great ecosystem value,” said Diego Urrejola, Executive Director of the Cosmos Foundation.
In total, the project includes 24 stations. The remaining 12 facilities are currently seeking funding to operate over the next few years. This initiative is projected to reach more than 25,000 people annually, providing an opportunity to stimulate their curiosity and, above all, their capacity for questioning as active agents in this socio-ecosystem.
