It explains the historical background of environmental education and recognizes the significance of indigenous knowledge and its relationship with the environment. Additionally, it explores existing initiatives towards environmental education. The chapter highlights some difficulties when implementing environmental education, such as limited funding, inadequate infrastructure, and language or cultural barriers. Despite these challenges, it emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to the adaptation and reformation of the educational system. Finally, the conclusion emphasizes the need for collaborative efforts between government agencies, educational institutions, and community organizations to collectively take part in effectively implementing environmental education initiatives to build a greener and more resilient future for Honduras.
