All of us in society, we need to act in defense of biodiversity conservation. We thank you for your support in these important subjects that arouse greater interest in our students”, - Considered CFJJ Director, Elisa Samuel.

The lectures are aimed at undergraduate and graduate students in Law, Biodiversity Conservation and related areas; Non-governmental organizations and Civil Society Organizations dealing with environmental law and advocacy issues.

As a result of this work, two important guidance manuals for prosecutors and judges have already been developed.
