TORROX s IES Alfaguar Institute launches ‘Wise Wings,’ a project involving the care and reintroduction of white owls to combat their declining population. Under Biology teacher Carlos Castillo s guidance, fourth-year students nurture two male chicks, Abul and Abe, on the institute s rooftop.
Community Impact
Mayor Óscar Medina emphasises the project s educational and conservation benefits, stressing the importance of engaging children in environmental efforts. Student involvement from project preparation to daily care promotes a sense of ownership and connection to the owls.
Project Overview
The project aims to not only provide biology lessons but also contribute to the conservation of a species vital for ecosystem balance. Torrox Town Hall and IES Alfaguar commend student enthusiasm and hope for the project s continuity to aid in the white owl population s recovery. This collaborative effort sets a precedent for future conservation projects, demonstrating the impact of community involvement in safeguarding biodiversity.
