Abstract

It was used the methodology developed by CIPS-CIGEA, focused toward the evaluation of the sensibility and the responsibility, through the observation and the application of half-structured interviews. The results pointed out the scarce level of the actors’ knowledge, about the status of protected area and the juridical-administrative regulations that rule it. The sensibility regarding the conservation of threatened species identifies a demand of knowledge to satisfy by means of training actions.
