La Fundación Reina Sofía continúa su colaboración con Ecoembes y con SEO/BirdLife, para liberar de basura los entornos naturales a través del proyecto LIBERA.
La lucha contra la basuraleza en los espacios naturales y entornos marinos y costeros es una de las principales líneas de trabajo del Proyecto LIBERA que impulsa SEO/BirdLife en alianza con Ecoembes desde 2017 con el apoyo desde su inicio de la Fundación Reina Sofía, en el marco de un acuerdo suscrito entre estas organizaciones y la Fundación Reina Sofía. El objetivo de esta colaboración es establecer las bases para el desarrollo de las actuaciones, tendentes a promover la concienciación en favor de la protección del medio ambiente mediante prácticas que mantengan los espacios naturales libres de basura y favorezcan la gestión de los residuos en la naturaleza además de la reducción, la reutilización y el reciclaje de residuos.
