The "LIBERA, united against littering" project was created in 2017 to stop the consequences of rubbish discarded in natural spaces in Spain's various ecosystems. It was created by the Spanish environmental NGO, SEO/BirdLife, in partnership with Ecoembes, the non-profit environmental organisation that promotes the circular economy through the recycling of packagin.
The aim of this initiative is to raise awareness and bring about a change in habits, starting with the reduction of waste generation, continuing with reuse, the repair of that which is already available; and of course, dealing with the problem of littering, the waste that ends up in nature.
In order to address the problem of littering, we need to know more about its origin, behaviour and where it accumulates.
We instil the importance of keeping environments clean and we cultivate a respect for nature.
We encourage people to go out to the countryside and clean up what nobody should have tarnished.
Join the fight against litter individually or as a group.
The efforts of all the volunteers and researchers to look after and protect nature over the years have yielded results.
