“…Developing knowledge and raising awareness of biodiversity through education is regarded as a crucial driver for enhancing engagement and an important measurement for sustainability development. Environmental knowledge and competencies are required for making informed decisions or for taking part in discussions about socio-scientific issues [16,17]. Education is also one of the key measures proposed by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) ever since its ratification in 1992 [18].…”

“…It includes not only the diversity of species but also of genes and ecosystems [20]. More updated definitions additionally include, among others, concepts such as relative frequency, composition, spatial distribution and interaction of species, genotypes and functional groups within ecosystems [16]. Several studies have shown that students and lay persons have a species-centered view on biodiversity, e.g., [14,16,20].…”

“…Los recursos biológicos constituyen la base para gran parte de las actividades económicas, por ello, tanto la cantidad como la calidad de la biodiversidad son importantes a la hora de considerar el capital natural y los beneficios que éste proporciona. Es necesario desarrollar un adecuado nivel de conocimiento acerca del valor y las funciones de la biodiversidad en sus distintos niveles (genes, especies, ecosistemas, unidades de paisaje) para favorecer su conservación (Bermúdez & Lindemann-Matthies, 2018). El reto de la conservación de la biodiversidad es de extrema complejidad, ya que durante las últimas décadas las actividades humanas para responder a la demanda creciente de alimento, agua dulce, materiales y energía han transformado los ecosistemas más rápida y extensamente que en ninguna otra época comparable de la historia humana (Díaz et al, 2006;Cardinale et al, 2012).…”

“…El Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biológica (Naciones Unidas, 1992) es el marco de referencia internacional para hacer frente a la pérdida de la biodiversidad. En las últimas décadas la sociedad ha ido concienciándose progresivamente de la importancia de poner freno al deterioro del patrimonio natural, pero una de las barreras a las que se enfrenta la puesta en valor de dicho patrimonio es la falta de conocimiento sobre los procesos que regulan la biodiversidad y sobre las causas y consecuencias de su disminución (Bermúdez & Lindemann-Matthies, 2018). En este sentido, la educación es una herramienta imprescindible para adquirir valores como el respeto hacia los seres vivos y el medio ambiente (Vega-Marcote & Álvarez-Suárez, 2009;Sousa et al, 2016;Casas-Jericó & Puig i Baguer, 2017;Beery & Jørgensen, 2018).…”
