Casi a totalidade dos factores que ameazan a supervivencia das especies e os seus hábitats son de orixe social. Por iso é fundamental construir espazos para promover a participación voluntaria directa na conservación da diversidade biolóxica.[Abstract] The protection of biodiversity, and more specifically of the species of fauna which are under threat, is impossible to tackle without the adoption of a social and community policy. Almost all of the factors which threaten the survival of the species and their habitats have a social origin. For such a reason, it is necessary to build spaces in which to promote direct voluntary participation in the protection of biological diversityglgBiodiversidadeParticipaciónVoluntariado ambientalFauna ameazadaBiodiversityParticipationEnvironmental volunteersFauna under threatXente a favor das especies.
