Diseño de un programa de educación ambiental para la conservación de anfibios y reptiles en las parroquias Bolaspamba, Mangahurco y Cazadero

Abstract

Abstract: The conservation of biodiversity requires strategies to reduce this loss and guarantee the survival of living organisms. One of these strategies is environmental education, a process that allows individuals to explore environmental problems, participate in their resolution and take action to improve the environment. The present work sought to generate audiovisual material to sensitize and educate children and young people from the Bolaspamba, Mangahurco and Cazaderos, in Zapotillo canton. The material elaborated with the amphibians and reptiles that are found in the territory, had the purpose of contributing to the conservation of the species present in the dry forest of the canton. Questionnaires will also be applied to assess people's knowledge, before and after seeing the material produced, in order to assess its impact. In general, knowledge is good regarding amphibians and reptiles (habitat, behavior and morphology); same that became much more technical, after the application of the didactic material.
