\nLa Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica del Estado de Morelos, l\u00edder ambiental y modelo a seguir en el manejo sustentable de sus instalaciones, asume un nuevo reto, redefinir su concepto de sustentabilidad a uno que incluye la valoraci\u00f3n de la biodiversidad y fomenta el trabajo colaborativo para ganar conciencia en su comunidad y espacios por la paz.<\/p>\n

Ganadora de un n\u00famero de premios por su manejo ambiental, hoy la UPEMOR asume el reto de expandir su visi\u00f3n de lo sustentable para incluir objetivos como la valoraci\u00f3n y fomento de la biodiversidad en su plantel y fomentar la colaboraci\u00f3n entre estudiantes, profesores y personal para promover el bienestar para todos y ambientes de paz. Estos son los objetivos detr\u00e1s de uno de sus \u00faltimos proyectos, el \u201cJard\u00edn Acu\u00e1tico por la Paz\u201d, liderado por el Centro de Capacitaci\u00f3n Ambiental (CECAM).<\/p>\n

La idea de un Jard\u00edn Acu\u00e1tico por la paz naci\u00f3 con el desarrollo de la relaci\u00f3n entre la UPEMOR y el Dawson College en Montreal. Dawson, despu\u00e9s de un desafortunado acto de violencia, respondi\u00f3 a la tragedia invitando a la comunidad educativa a colaborar en sembrar un jard\u00edn, un Jard\u00edn Ecol\u00f3gico por la Paz. El Jard\u00edn Acu\u00e1tico por la Paz de la UPEMOR es un jard\u00edn hermano. La primera etapa del proyecto consisti\u00f3 en plantar \u00e1rboles y construir jardineras alrededor de una laguna de regulaci\u00f3n que se encuentra en sus terrenos. La reforestaci\u00f3n y las jardineras tienen como objetivo aumentar la biodiversidad en el \u00e1rea alrededor de la laguna. Solo unos meses despu\u00e9s las plantas ya est\u00e1n atrayendo especies de p\u00e1jaros, mariposas y otra fauna a este espacio que geogr\u00e1ficamente es parte de la selva baja caducifolia y est\u00e1 pr\u00f3ximo al \u00e1rea protegida El Texcal. El espacio ya es un h\u00e1bitat invitador para la flora y fauna end\u00e9mica del lugar. Otro componente importante de esta primera etapa fue el pintar un mural al costado de la laguna de regulaci\u00f3n. El mural es una representaci\u00f3n de la biodiversidad end\u00e9mica de la regi\u00f3n (y en Canad\u00e1), pero tambi\u00e9n tiene s\u00edmbolos que representan la colaboraci\u00f3n entre M\u00e9xico y Canad\u00e1 y el profundo deseo de trabajar porque estos planteles sean espacios de paz.<\/p>\n

Cabe destacar que la manera en que este proyecto se ha desarrollado cumple con importantes objetivos de sustentabilidad que van m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de la definici\u00f3n t\u00e9cnica del manejo ambiental. La construcci\u00f3n de las jardineras tanto como el dise\u00f1o y la pintura del mural fueron un esfuerzo colectivo dirigido a unir, concientizar y movilizar a la comunidad educativa por el bienestar colectivo y el entorno natural. Estudiantes de diferentes carreras en ingenier\u00eda participaron en estas actividades. El dise\u00f1o y realizaci\u00f3n del mural en si fue un proceso de colaboraci\u00f3n entre la comunidad educativa y abierto a externos. Incluso estudiantes de Dawson College participaron en su ejecuci\u00f3n. Participaci\u00f3n en este proyecto ha sido una experiencia transformadora. Sus participantes nos cuentan que este proyecto fue una experiencia que les permiti\u00f3 mayor concientizaci\u00f3n de la importancia de su participaci\u00f3n en acciones ambientales, del valor intr\u00ednseco de la naturaleza y de c\u00f3mo su propio bienestar est\u00e1 ligado a esta.<\/p>\n

La intenci\u00f3n de este proyecto va a m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de fomentar la biodiversidad, reconoce que se puede encontrar paz en la naturaleza. El proyecto est\u00e1 en v\u00edas de construcci\u00f3n. A\u00fan faltan etapas, una tan importante como el conseguir impermeabilizar la laguna de contenci\u00f3n para que \u00e9sta contenga agua durante todo el a\u00f1o y no solo durante la temporada de lluvia. La visi\u00f3n es de un espacio construido por y para la comunidad educativa. Un espacio donde los estudiantes puedan convivir bajo la sombra de un \u00e1rbol, admirar y valorar la biodiversidad. Un espacio dentro del plantel fuera del ambiente de estr\u00e9s que se vive entre trabajos y ex\u00e1menes en las aulas. Este proyecto reconoce que la naturaleza cura, la naturaleza calma, la naturaleza restaura, la naturaleza conecta.<\/p>\n

La UPEMOR, una instituci\u00f3n de educaci\u00f3n superior, de ense\u00f1anza y formaci\u00f3n mayormente t\u00e9cnica, nos est\u00e1 dando una lecci\u00f3n no solo en biolog\u00eda si no tambi\u00e9n en humanidad. Nos ense\u00f1an que una definici\u00f3n integral de la gesti\u00f3n ambiental incluye no solo tecnolog\u00eda, sino tambi\u00e9n cultura ambiental, arte, fomento de la convivencia y la paz en nuestros planteles educativos, que los espacios verdes, de tranquilidad, de reflexi\u00f3n son nuestro derecho.<\/p>\n

A challenge made with effort, will, purpose, courage and trust as its main ingredients\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\nThe Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica del Estado de Morelos, an environmental leader and role model to follow on the sustainable management of their facilities, assumes a new challenge, to redefine its concept of sustainability to one that includes valuing biodiversity and encouraging\u00a0 collective work to sensitize their community and the creation of spaces for peace.<\/p>\n

Winner of a number of prizes for its environmental management, today the UPEMOR assumes the challenge to expand its vision of sustainability to include objectives such as valuing and promoting biodiversity in its campus and encouraging collaboration between students, teachers and staff to promote environments of peace and well-being for all. These are the objectives behind one of their last projects, the Aquatic Peace Garden, led by its Environmental Training Center (CECAM).<\/p>\n

Planters around the regulation lagoon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The idea of an Aquatic Peace Garden was born with the development of the relationship between the UPEMOR and Dawson College. Dawson, after an unfortunate act of violence, responded to the tragedy with an invitation to its educational community to collaborate in planting a garden, an Ecologic Peace Garden. The UPEMOR’s Aquatic Peace Garden is its sister garden. The first step of the project consisted in planting trees and building planters around a regulation lagoon that is situated in their grounds. The reforestation and the planters had as an objective to increase the biodiversity in the area around the lagoon. Just a few months after, the plants are already attracting species of birds, butterflies and other fauna to this space that is geographically part of the lower deciduous jungle and is near the protected area \u201cEl Texcal\u201d. The space is already a welcoming habitat for the endemic flora and fauna of the area. Another component that is also important in this first step was to paint a mural along the side of the regulation lagoon. The mural is a representation of the endemic biodiversity of the region (and of Canada too), but also has symbols that represent the collaboration between Mexico and Canada and the profound wish to work for the generation of spaces for peace in these campuses.<\/p>\n

It is important to highlight that the way this project has been developed complies with important sustainability objectives that go beyond the technical definition of environmental management. The construction of the planters, the design and the painting on the mural have been a collective effort aimed to unite, sensitize and mobilize the educational community for the well being of all and the natural surroundings. Students from different engineering programs participated in these activities. The design and realization of the mural was itself, a collaboration process between the educational community and open to outsiders. Even students of Dawson College participated in its execution. Participation in this project has been a transforming experience. Its participants tell us that this project was an experience that allowed them to become sensitized about the importance of their participation in environmental actions, of the intrinsic value of nature and of how our own well-being is linked to it.<\/p>\n

The intention of this project goes further than encouraging biodiversity.\u00a0 It recognizes that one can find peace in nature. The project is under construction. There are still important stages to work on, such as placing an insulating membrane in the lagoon so that it contains water throughout the year and not only during the rainy season. The vision is of a space built by and for the educational community. A space where students can spend time together under the shade of a tree, where they can admire and value biodiversity, a space within the campus, outside of the stressful classroom environment full of assignments and exams. This project recognizes that nature heals, nature relaxes, nature restores and nature connects.<\/p>\n

The UPEMOR, a higher education institution, of mostly technical learning and formation, is giving us a lesson not only about biology but also on humanity. They teach us that an integral definition of environmental management not only includes technology but also environmental culture, art, encouragement of coexistence, and peace in our sustainable campuses, that green spaces of tranquility and reflection are our right.<\/p>\n
