The Voluntary Program in rivers of the LIFE IREKIBAI Project joins the celebration of World Environment Day. Around the commemoration date, on Monday, June 5, the LIFE IREKIBAI project has supported various environmental volunteer activities in rivers. Specifically, the Doneztebe City Council, the Nafarroa Oinez2017 Foundation and the Baztan City Council have organized river cleaning days throughout the months of May and June of 2017, in the municipalities of Doneztebe, Lesaka and Baztan, in the latter Auzolanes were specifically carried out in three towns: Oronoz Mugaire, Lekaroz and Elizondo. As a result, more than a hundred volunteers from these locations, made a cleaning of garbage, plastics and other waste in different races of the Baztan-Bidasoa Basins. The objective of these environmental volunteer activities is to promote the active participation of the population in the conservation and improvement of the river ecosystem, and to inform and sensitize the population through the knowledge of its river and its environment.
