Department of Environment (DOE) Gilan with cooperation of Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is going to hold Environmental Education (EE) training course at the Anzali Wetland EE Center. The course consists of five programs until November.
The EE Center with facilities such as the watching tower, bird hide is very useful and attractive not only for program participants but also for the public. However, the EE center is always closed for the public because there is not DOE manager due to lack of human resource. The purpose of this course is to train up managers and guides in order to open the EE center for public on the weekend.

About 35 experts and instructors from Kanoon and NGOs (Sarzamin-e -ideal ma Environmental Institute (SEI), Gilan Women and Youths Environmentalist Society (GWYES), Gilan Women against Environmental Pollution Society (GWEPS)), member of EE Sub-committee participated in it.
