The Edena Program or the Discovery Study of the Nature allows the public or private schools to realise the activities of green class in the protected areas, which have some potentialities on the educative side. The Edena programme relies on the idea that from giving the school people the opportunity to get acquainted and study in situ the national wealth in biodiversity, the educative impacts will be more direct and beneficial.
