Welcome to the Intercultural Center for the Study of Deserts and Oceans.

By promoting environmental awareness, disseminating knowledge and encouraging civic participation, CEDO is a fundamental force driving civic dialogue and transparent decision-making. CEDO has been the promoter of a vision: the vision of an open, participatory society consciously building its own future.
