BoB and Garzon's Book

Bob y Garzón, Against the Garbage Current is a wonderful book, that has a very special and necessary purpose for Panama: to create awareness among the population about the problem of pollution of rivers and seas and provide information on how to mitigate it through actions of all the citizens.

​

It is a beautifully illustrated 48-page book that tells the story of the characters BoB and Garzón who fight to prevent waste and plastic from reaching our mangroves and seas. BoB is a small floating barrier that was installed as an experiment in the Matías Hernández river and Garzón is a Panamanian heron, BoB's faithful companion, who flies up and down the river and tells BoB everything he sees.

​

The work is for sale to publicize the beautiful story of BoB and to support a campaign that seeks to donate books to public schools in the communities of the Juan Díaz River Basin. For every book sold, Marea Verde will donate a book to area schools. At the moment, the books can be purchased through @mareaverdepanama on InstaGram, Marea Verde Panama on Twitter and Facebook, or through info@mareaverdepanama.org.
