ECOSTART is a binational collaborative exchange program to empower Sonoran elementary school teachers to develop an environmental education curriculum designed to address the community and school needs for knowledge of ecosystem principles. In addition, the program enabled Sonoran and Arizona elementary school teachers to share environmental information and student projects regarding the Upper San Pedro (southeastern Arizona and northeast Sonora) riparian area in which they live and teach through exchange visits.
