BIODIVERSITY
GUIDES
Biodiversity is central to a healthy ecosystem, and our knowledge of it provides us with the necessary tools to conserve it.
A nature guide allows for a greater connection between scientific knowledge and the general population. It is a bridge between science and the population, increasing environmental literacy and concern for the environment.
Conservation has never been as important as the period we are going through. A field guide prepared with the most emblematic species of a certain region allows to increase knowledge about them and put an end to some myths, helping to protect them and increasing environmental education actions.
Description of Guides
The field guide will be created depending on the location and the chosen groups. A survey of the most common species will be carried out using various citizen science platforms (eBird, biodiversity4all, iNaturalist, among others).

OBJECTIVES OF FAUNA GUIDES
A field guide has the main objective of increasing knowledge about the species that inhabit a given region, providing information about the biology, diet, morphology, distribution, habitat and biometrics of the species, and even having the most common names for each one. Field guides are useful tools in conservation and building a solid foundation on species.
-
Increase knowledge about species
-
Provide information on diet and habitat
-
Create a foundation for conservation

Additional Information
Within the scope of nature conservation, it is possible to adapt the elaboration of a field guide to be used as a tool for environmental education. Field guides are built based on the most common species in the region, to be accessible to the entire population.
-
Useful to increase knowledge about the species of our fauna
-
Tool for environmental education
-
They allow reaching the entire population with relevant information about the species
