Women's Committe

The women's committee of Lopez Mateos is a group of women concerned to preserve loggerhead sea turtles, as well as their natural resources. This women association has as main goal to help changing the attitudes that have a negative impact in their natural environment, for positive ones. To pursue this goal, the Proyecto Caguama has facilitated their participation in different workshops, such as recycling, handicraft production and computing. Furthermore, as members of proCaguama these women have acquired a deep knowledge about the complex situation lived by the sea turtles in their community, as well as how their everyday choices can make things better for these animals.
	The women's committee of Lopez Mateos also participates in the organizing and developing the different environmental education activities carried out in their community. To mention some, they participate in the selection the Sea Turtle Festival Queen, the setting up of the Festival’s agenda, as well as the general organizing to make from this event a successful one.
