Please Help CSI's ACOREMA
Earthquake Relief Project!

An earthquake destroyed nearly 80% of Pisco, Peru in August, including ACOREMA, an Environmental Interpretative Center that CSI has supported for almost a decade.

The earthquake took only three minutes to turn this:

Into this:

Every survivor in the city is devoting all their resources to surviving and recovering something of their lives, and many relief agencies are focused on these basic needs. Everyone needs something symbolic of normal life. ACOREMA can be that symbol.

ACOREMA must be rebuilt:

• To show people something "normal" to rely upon;
• To give people hope about the future of their community;
• To provide a place for children and adults to congregate and focus on something other than the devastation in their lives;
• To continue the long term goal of improving public perceptions about cetaceans and the marine environment.
