raid ambiental

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Pediatric IDB
Todo ello puede conllevar menos oportunidades de experimentar actividades gratificantes aumentando la posibilidad de aislamiento y disminuyendo considerablemente la calidad de vida.
El Aula en la Naturaleza es una iniciativa, que mezcla formación (sesiones presenciales para padres, pacientes y para ambos sobre los aspectos más relevantes de la EII) y ocio (rafting, paintball, raid ambiental, tirolina, escalada, parque arbóreo, juegos acuáticos y fiesta de disfraces) en un ambiente inmejorable donde las familias y los pacientes pueden interactuar, durante todo un fin de semana, entre ellas y con los especialistas que forman parte del equipo multidisciplinar encargado de su seguimiento en las unidades de EII.

¿Raid ambiental? Not an expression I am familiar with. Thoughts?

TIA,
Juliette

educational nature trek

From the examples I found, it seems that 'raid' is the English word 'ride' that has become a loan word in Spanish. It either means a rally/race or a safari type expedition (usually to take photographs and explore the local natural environment.
From the way it is used in this and similar contexts, it could be translated back as:
- 'tour'
- 'expedition'
- 'hike'
- trek
So, maybe something like 'nature trek'/'educational trail'/nature walk/trail
Example sentence:

El “raid fotográfico ruta Garganta de los Infiernos”

environmental raid

In this case, it most likely refers to an activity where participants go around clearing up rubbish. Note that "raid" sometimes appears in inverted commas, showing that it is a recent coinage for this particular meaning.

Caveat: Note that the expression "environmental raid" is sometimes used in another sense as well in different contexts.

The activity is similar to the recent phenomenon of 'plogging' -> picking up trash such as used plastic bottles while jogging or running.

Example sentence:

We conducted an environmental raid, went to the Usha River and made a major cleaning of the bank

Thanks to the environmental "raid", eight bags of garbage were collected.

Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : I couldn't get your Kazakh reference to work, but it sounds like a mistranslation. All the Googling I did supported Rebecca's answer. But thanks for introducing me to the concept of plogging - I'll try it next time I go for a run!
