As part of our corporate social responsibility, in 2002 we founded the
Puerto Rican Association of Interpretation and Education, Inc. (known
locally as APIE), a non-profitable organization.  Through APIE and its

  • Maricao Christmas BIrd Count (December)
  • Vieques Island Christmas Bird Count (January)
