My name is John Lachendro, but I prefer to be called Jack. I am a young professional in the environmental education field working at Black Moshannon State Park in central Pennsylvania as their assistant naturalist. 

I’m a Guatemalan environmental activist with a great passion for marine life conservation and sustainability. I’m a senior student of Environmental Engineer at Universidad Rafael Landívar, where I was the vice-president of the students’ association of my faculty for two years, and I work as a teacher.

I've been involved in the planification and implementation of environmental education and volunteer programs for children and youth in my country. The programs have focused on solid waste management, biodiversity, and understanding Ocean Literacy Principles to acknowledge and analyze the relationship between the ocean and climate. I've worked with coastal communities, educational centers, international and local organizations, and I'm currently the Environmental Education and Communications Coordinator in SOA (Sustainable Ocean Alliance) Guatemala.
