The permanent exhibition “Planeta Vivo” opened in Parque Guanajuato Bicentenario -PGB-, which invites Guanajuatenses and tourists to live a conscious experience and change in favor of the environment.
During the inauguration of the exhibit that offers an overview of the past and present and invites the population to join a common effort for a sustainable future, Juan Jose Alvarez Brunel, Secretary of Tourism of Guanajuato; Maria Isabel Ortiz Mantilla, Secretary of the Environment and Territorial Planning; Maria Veronica Agundis Estrada, director of the PGB; and Christian Mauricio Munoz Garcia, General Director for the Comprehensive Development of the Education Community.
PGB has the opportunity to show once again -the first time was in 2010 when it opened the Exhibit “390 ppm. Altered planet. Climatic changes and Mexico”, as part of the commemoration of the Bicentennial of Independence and the Centennial of the Revolution- to the public more than 100 rescued and preserved pieces that are part of the State’s cultural heritage.
“Living Planet” offers visitors a tour of various nuclei that are described as:
- Core 1: Climate change, effects and extinctions
- Core 2: Traces of the past and what the flora and fauna tell us about the climate
- Core 3: Human evolution and climate
- Core 4: Pleistocene and migrations
- Core 5: Stories of climate and culture (Art and instruments)
- Core 6: Introduction to the Anthropocene (Mapping), Industrial Revolution and Demographic Footprints
- Core 7: Consumerism, Charred and Dehydrated World (Ecological Footprint), and Contemporary Art
- Core 8: Join – Living Planet Mission
- Core 9: Virtual reality
- Core 10: Conscious Guanajuato and Hilorama
In this last space, SECTUR presents a projection of the Emblema Project, an intersectoral alliance for the adaptation to climate change of tourism in the Cuenca de la Soledad Protected Natural Area.
This project was born by identifying that the tourism sector needed to make efforts to adapt to climate change and, in this adaptation process, SECTUR and SMAOT join efforts to reduce the impacts generated by this industry.
Alvarez Brunel acknowledged that “climate change and sustainability have led us to pay attention to some concepts on which we necessarily have to go more proundly, because if we do not do so, we will fall short in that awareness of what we must do, each one of us as individuals and assume the responsibility that each one of the inhabitants has”.
“We hope that this exhibition is visited by many people, by girls and boys from all corners of Guanajuato and for that we also need dissemination, if you like it, promote it and take this space for your workshops, conferences or exhibitions that as always, this is your house”, invited Veronica Agundis.
PGB is a non-profit venue with a social vocation, with projects aimed at strengthening culture, education and the generation of significant experiences, that is why a new exhibition has been created that over time proposes an initiative in order to raise awareness from our customs to improve our state and planet, around climate change.
