LLamil Ruiz González July 22, 2019

The Company for the Protection of Flora and Fauna in the municipality of Morón has joined the fight to control the invasion of the giant African snail in our country with several actions that should have a favorable impact on the awareness of the population.

According to the statements of Dulce María Cruz Simón, specialist in Environmental Education of the Company, until now they have compiled enough information and audiovisual materials that they will use in promotional activities in schools and communities of the territory.

Among the activities planned to draw attention to this invasive species and the need for its control and elimination are educational lectures, video debates and the dissemination of posters in places with a large audience.

The giant African snail is a threat to human health because of its ability to transmit eosinophilic meningoencephalitis, and for agriculture and the environment due to its reproductive capacity, plant destruction and competition with other native species for food.
