Abstract

In this paper we describe an experience in environmental education which took place in a local community. First we provide a detailed analysis of the evolution of the experience from the initial spreading of ideas to the current more consolidated programs, some of them developed in collaboration with public entities which have allowed our association to get involved in the management of some protected areas. Secondly, we evaluate the results of the activities implemented and assess their relevance as related to conservation. Finally, we discuss the challenges that ADESGA should face so as to increase the protection and sustainable development of ZEPA by encouraging people’s participation.
