In an effort to be a beacon of light, hope and inspiration in the world, the 19th edition of Earth Hour, the largest environmental movement in the world, was celebrated.
 
As part of the actions promoted by WWF Mesoamerica, the region was reached through various activities in Guatemala and Honduras.

 
Guatemala City, Guatemala | On March 22, 2025, in the context of the Magical Night at La Aurora Zoo, Earth Hour was celebrated through a movement that brought together around 500 people of different ages to share open-air space full of playful activities, entertainment and reflections.
 
This year, the central idea focused on an immersive experience and a temporary journey that transported the attendees to connect with the paradisiacal spaces and the most emblematic species of the region. Through a story that captivated emotions and imagination, the audience was invited to take positive actions for the planet and to create the possibility of building a future where humans can fully coexist with nature.
 
In a complementary but no less important way, discussion and learning spaces were opened regarding the main projects driven by WWF Mesoamerica to promote the conservation and protection of the natural environment.
 
Some ludic activations were also carried out for children to discover the importance of taking care of the planet and to relate in a healthier way with their environment.
 
The evening ended with a countdown as a symbolic act of lights switch-off, a moment during which the public was also encouraged to participate and test their knowledge about environmental awareness.
 
El Progreso, Yoro, Honduras | During 18 consecutive years, the Municipality of El Progreso has led climate actions within the framework of Earth Hour, leading the baton in this global movement and demonstrating that the commitment to nature is built with leadership, perseverance and a strong heart.
 
The celebration took place on March 29, 2025 during a cultural night at Ramon Rosa Park, which included various artistic expressions such as a parade, dance performances and art exhibits.
 
With the direct involvement of the population, mainly children and youth, an atmosphere of wholesome fun and connection with nature was enjoyed.
 
Some of the actions carried out by WWF Mesoamerica included the screening of an immersive story that invited people to rethink their own environmental habits, recreational activities for children, and the promotion of the Separando Ando campaign, which encourages the proper segregation of solid waste in order to conserve water bodies in Honduras.
 
WWF recognizes the invaluable effort and participation of local people, who listen to the call of nature and act to recover and protect it.
