306-324p. Abstract: Nature degradation is rooted in the disruption of the human-land connection. Its restoration requires the regeneration of environmental stewardship as a way to live within environmental limits, especially for younger generations. In this study we used the implementation of a year-round, non-formal environmental education program during COVID-19 times to explore environmental stewardship in adolescents between 14- and 18-years old from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia. Using a qualitative methodology, we mapped expressions of environmental stewardship among local youth. We found several barriers that can be challenged and levers that can be nurtured through inclusive, place-based and collaborative environmental education strategies to foster youth’s environmental stewardship in Colombian’s high-biodiverse regions. ***______{For Hard Copy, Please visit Library.}________*** action| environmental stewardship| Indigenous communities| place-based education| youth 0095-8964 https://doi.org/10.1080/00958964.2023.2238649 https://doi.org/10.1080/00958964.2023.2238649 240409 20240409070818.0
